And There You Have It










Voila! We couldn't be happier with our remodel. Heather deserves the greatest thanks for her perserverance and vision. This simply would not have happened without her drive and tenacity. She served as project manager, and mother to two kids while having a third kid in the midst of the construction. And she lived in the home during the remodel. Amazing! Thanks to Heather's architect father Gene Nichols for the exceptional design. Gene was given a near-impossible task of squeezing in several spacious rooms between existing steel posts and an enomous foundation while meeting all of San Diego's confusing building codes. He must have re-drawn and refined the plans a hundred times before finding a solution for our every need. And thanks to Phil Milana and his construction crew for their ingenuity and attention to detail. Phil's expertise and professionalism made the entire experience a thousand times better than we ever expected. What was my contribution? The exterior design. Yep, I whipped that up in about 30 minutes at the kitchen table, thank you very much. Check in next year for some new landscaping.
