Dear Michael,

You should stop by on one of your forays to the southeast side. The final phases of building and finishing of our project went well and very smoothly because of the wonderful plans that you drew. I thank you every day!

Seriously, please stop by, I think that you would be pleased too.

I’ve thought of calling you often since we completed our remodeling. At a recent holiday we had my family visit and were able to host 33 people here at our “new” home.   The spaces worked wonderfully!! We set up a TV, VCR, and stereo in the ‘big room” over the garage so the 16 cousins would have somewhere to play. Worked like a dream!

I should share this story with you.  During the final phases of construction, a woman I don’t know who was visiting asked how my kitchen remodel was going. I answered that it was taking longer, etc., etc., but that all was going well with the rest of the addition. Well, she was shocked – she thought that the “house” had always been there – that we were only remodeling the kitchen! What a great design!!
