Can never review too many timeZ

Wife and I have reveiwed drawings for remodel for well over 18 months. A number of sessions at the architect's office, as well as evenings at home.

But today after excavator had been here and loaded up on concrete and taken off to dump it, she asks "why are we digging that deep?"

Anser is given, "There's where the entrance is supposed to be, at slab level".

"No, it'll look stupid, no one wants to walk into a basement!" And so on...

So, despite having gone over this umpteen times, the three dimensional "feel" was not there and wife really had no idea of the "ingress" part. She still envisoned the entrance to be at the platform level (split-level) as today, just puled out a bit further.

My stomach almost fell to the floor, and sort of quit and went inside to take a shower and prepare for the Crawfish party later tonight. No more of this right now.

I guess we'll have some heavy reviewing to do tomorrow since there is NO perfect design, they all have compromises. I just thought we really had worked them through. Excavator and General Contractor will be here early Monday morning and they need guidance.

Maybe it is time to go back to military days; you explained, you asked if there were any questions, and then you asked the soldiers to repeat what you just had explained. Just to be sure the information actually had been properly received...

In any case, I'm now heading to the Crawfish party...
