Big mounds of dirt

When I came back from lunch, I checked my cell phone and found out I missed a call. I checked my voice mail and got a message from the interior design people for the company that’s building my condo. I was kind of floored. I mean, the construction site is still a bunch of big mounds of dirt. I use the parking lot next to the site almost daily, so I get to indirectly monitor the progress. Really, I’m not exaggerating about the fact that it’s a big mound of dirt: there’s a mountain of gravel all fenced in. I see heavy machinery working all around the area and men in hard hats going about their business. I guess they’re just putting in the underground infrastructure first.

So, yeah, considering the lack of progress on-site, I was surprised that there’s already talk of interior design. Well, actually, there none really yet. The voice mail said she’d contact me again once she got pricing for my suite. Exciting, eh? I’m already starting to think about colour palettes and furniture. I should take a look at some home mags for ideas.

Fifteen months to go before the tentative date. Maybe I’ll add a countdown widget to the blog to remind myself.
