I'll
send you a "Homework Packet" which will get you seriously thinking about
how you want to live after reviewing how you live now, how you cook, store &
deliver meals, and how you entertain. Included will be a reference list. I encourage

as we can. |

DRAWINGS & LINE ESTIMATIONS
A week or two after roominations™
I'll return with one or two possible layouts & a line item estimate. From
this meeting, we will have a basis from which to work and refine a finished plan.
We try to get as close to a finished plan as possible before shopping. |

5 | SHOPPING
CRUISE™
There are hundreds of decisions to make
and thousands of things to pick from. I will accompany you on a preliminary tour
to go see the "stuff" we will use to build your "living kitchen".
We will have the opportunity to select cabinets, flooring, lighting, plumbing
& appliances. The choices are then compared with the budget estimate and adjustments
are made based on your selections. We can usually get it all done in one day. |

REFINE & ORDER
Once the plan, the budgets & specifications
are in contract order, we'll send deposits with approved agreements and put you
on our schedule. |
