Moving In

The walls have been painted, the light fixtures are almost all installed, the sod is about to go in.........and the furniture arrives. Always a stressful day, with the general contractor and his team struggling to get the house clean and ready, boxes arriving, drapes being hung, carpeting going down.

Years of work have gone into a project such as this one, a new custom home in the Massachusetts Berkshire hills, from initial design meetings to preparation of construction documents and local approvals proccesses.....and then construction, with innumberable site visits and job meetings. Its difficult, at the point when the furniture goes in and the owners begin to take possession, to give up control, to let go of this object of your closest involvement, but at the end........it really does belong to someone else......
