Here is that ceiling finished...... its variable temperature LED, and you manually adjust via a wall controller to the temp you want; soft white or bright white.

Very nice. How many man hours would you estimate on the whole ceiling: from talking to the customer, design, looking up and procuring parts, and installation?

Do all those sliding doors retract into a big pocket?

Where do you see sliding doors? Except for the one swinging door at the extreme left and maybe others we can't make out I think it's a glass wall.

Yes all of that opens; it's a panoramic door. The end sections will open like a standard door.

Each section pivots in the center and then slides to the end. Overall length is 36'.

There was no conversation really on the sales end. I've built multiple houses with this customer, and he expects things like this.

I just asked the trim carpenter to drop the crown and give me a ledge.

I sent the dimensions and specs of what I wanted to the supplier and they provided the take-off of what to order.

I did the installation myself, and it took me 2 hours; roughly an hour to install the LED's and run the wiring, and the rest of the time was spent in the attic installing and connecting the drivers and dimming modules.

If this were a more typical customer, I'd expect to spend 4 hours of my time back and forth with the customer, providing and quoting options. That plus the install, call it a solid day.

This is Florida, where everyone aspires to have "a room without a roof" as the song goes...

Here's a pic from outside that door ...... we just finished the wiring for outdoor kitchen a couple of weeks ago. There is a small TV out here, but that door opens completely to entertain and allow you to see the 120" black diamond projection screen. There is also infrared heaters for "winter".

I did take the WP covers off the receps after inspection but those are WR receps at least. We put the Control4 nickel plates on so it would match the rest of the house.

The receps down low on the wall are Arlington In-Boxes though so if they hose it down, those are protected.

Is that a hot tub or a pool table?
I see he likes chicken wings (fryer). Great man cave for sure.

That's pretty cool. If I'm not mistaken, I think those are all Definitive Tech speakers. Should make for a nice little theater setup. How big is this house anyway?

Yes definitive tech; in every room of the house.

Smaller than you think; about 2200 sq ft heated and just as much garage space

Had to go back out to this one today and add power for more shades on the outdoor kitchen area; apparently the neighbors are being creepers.....got a better pic of that door. Oh yeh there's also a 12' panoramic door off the master.

This is a job for a lighting design specialist.

Some installers are maybe closer to being called that then others though.

I thought all electricians where lighting specialist?

I could go on and on Untill you do what you should have done,

At least have the gall to contact me.

I wouldn't say all electricians are lighting specialists. Many install lighting, but only follow the plans someone else has made for them, many repair lighting, but that is usually just fixing something that doesn't work and not the design of the lighting in a particular location.
