It has been about 8 weeks since we broke ground on our renovation at Tulipan. Our construction team is M.O.V.I.N.G.
And my contractor said that in a perfect world, he’d be done with my project in April. WHAT THE WHAT. Of course he said to not change my current plans of moving in June, just in case. (And truly, I appreciate his attempt at underpromising in hopes of overdelivering.)
And if you’re reading this when it comes out, you know that it’s actually raining in SoCal right now so you know there are some delays.
I have been documenting most of the day-to-day journey on my Instagram Stories, but here I’ll compile them in a timeline:

Here are the next steps:
- Roofing: We are trying to get the new Tesla Solar Shingles installed. However, they do not yet have their New Construction department developed so they are severely under-resourced. I am told all our plans/forms have been submitted to be included in the 1st Round (Pilot Program) but we have yet to confirm that or any estimated timeline. Worst case scenario, we can’t wait and install black composition shingles.
- The guts need to be finished, inspected, before they are ready for insulation and drywall!
- Kitchen cabinets + pantry / dry bar cabinets will be ordered soon – I just had a 2 hour design meeting to finalize the details!
