It's been a stressful week, but today we won the bid for A/V, automation, security & surveillance for the new home of a pro athlete. This will be a nice one for us: dedicated theater that we get to design, 24 zones of audio, 18 zones of HD video distribution, around 20 touchpanels, a dozen cameras, full security, some automation etc.
Only problem? They want to start insulating a week from tomorrow. Guess what my weekend plans are?
That call came at about 1 this afternoon; by 3:00 we got a call from one of our builders--he has a parade house that needs roughing in next week, and two of his other houses will be ready for trim the following week. Bring it on!
The schedule sounds like every job I do. It would be so nice to be able to tell the builder that the insulation needs to wait because I'm not ready for it.
Or have the customer tell the bulder that he wants his av system done right and that the schedule needs to wait.
