I just felt inspired to bring you guys along today.
4
I had tons of meetings today.
5
I'm at the office now and just finished.
6
It's like 3 p.m.
7
Now I'm gonna go to my construction site.
8
I have been building a house for like six years.
9
I bought the property in 2020 and I really wasn't gonna post about it
10
but it's kind of all over the internet anyway so I have to do some approvals and you're coming with me.
11
Let's go.
12
Bye office.
13
Oh, Gwai's coming.
14
Okay, we're here.
15
Gwai's in town.
16
She's joining.
17
My landscaper is Jim Hyatt who did the San Ysidro Ranch
18
so we kind of copied that what he did for them
19
and it's lavender which will grow in way more by the time I move in
20
and these old ancient olives for the entry which I'm obsessed with
21
and this reclaimed cobblestone from my driveway is so unreal it's like a little adventure
22
My beautiful dream Italian home.
23
Okay, so my floors are all covered.
24
Oh, here you see a little piece of it.
25
So these are what my floors look like.
26
They are reclaimed gorgeous wood.
27
And they're all done, but they're covered.
28
I have to approve a plaster color today, and I wanted just white plaster for the whole house, all the main areas.
29
This one's a little too gray, so I'm gonna go with this one.
30
My fireplace is in, you guys, this is an old fireplace that we found for the entry.
31
It's all in pieces, but so beautiful with the old brick.
32
Now we're in my kitchen, and all my wood just arrived, but it's not the right color.
33
We're going to stain it, but it looks pretty.
34
Stone floor is so beautiful.
35
So pretty, all the details.
36
Okay, this is another approval of the day.
37
I didn't know what I wanted to do for my fireplace in the kitchen living room, and I'm working with Waldo and Tommy Clements,
38
and they kind of had this idea to just continue the
39
brick on the inside for the outside of our place and I love it. So, approved.
40
Okay, now we are going downstairs to the basement.
41
Honestly, I haven't seen this at all.
42
They must have just gone
43
to you okay now we're
44
in the main guest room and i have to decide on a plaster color but
45
I don't know if I'm like loving any.
46
I like the one on the right.
47
Maybe that greeny one, but I also might just do neutral like the rest of the home.
48
This bathroom is one of my favorites.
49
Such a stunning stone.
50
I wish I did it in my bathroom, but it's okay.
51
I really wanted to add like traditional details and all the stone like just turned out really perfect.
52
Okay there's one more thing that I haven't seen in another guest bathroom.
53
We found this vintage tile.
54
Well Tommy and Waldo did.
55
so we're doing this in one of the showers here and I am in love with it.
56
If it's the only bathroom right now that has a tile moment, it looks a little darker in the shower because it's, they just put it in,
57
but I think it's going to be very, very fab.
58
I'm doing a rose garden out there because I just want to be a princess.
59
Okay, we should have worn some sneakers, but I wasn't really prepared for this today.
60
Woo!
61
We're on an adventure.
62
this is gonna be a sports court right i
63
don't really know oh right exactly excited about this area
64
i'm doing all gravel my olive trees there's a little pathway
65
that comes down from my backyard and i'm doing like an outdoor oh i just stripped outdoor dining.
66
I have a fountain down here and a pizza oven and I wanted somewhere to go to throw dinner parties and birthdays.
67
My sister was doing some construction at one of her homes,
68
Kendall, and she had to get rid of all of these baby olives.
69
And she was like, does anyone want them?
70
And I said, absolutely.
71
Not only are they so beautiful, it reminds me of my sister every time I look at them.
72
That is it for all the approvals today and all the newness.

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
