Well, where do I start this time? Oh, with the garage door! Shortly after my last post, the doors and trim arrived but the garage door was nowhere in site. This prompted our OSWN (Oh Shit What Now) reflex and nightmares of light footed and fingered thieves danced in our dreams. We checked with DB and he was covered for any loss so our blood pressures went down a bit. We parked our local panel van in the drive to give them something to dodge and it seemed to work. Wednesday the garage door fairies arrived and put in our new garage door, complete with WINDOWS!!! We weren't expecting that--I think that DB guilted the installer into giving us the door with windows because he was so tardy getting it to us.
Inside the walls are taped, mudded, sanded, primed and textured. Hopefully the wall color (Rodda "Bridal Wreath"--I kid you not...) will be early next week as the finish carpenters are coming to install the subfloor for the Marmoleum. I unloaded 50 sheets of 1/4 inch ACX plywood on Friday, into the newly secured garage.
Friday also saw our "beloved" construction arm of the power company AKA Mafia Inc spending an entire 55 minutes to connect 2 ends of the natural gas pipe and the meter and messily backfill the holes, that will be 1K, thank you very much! Oh, and we can't reinstall the earthquake valve that we originally took off or turn on the meter, contact the power company for that, good day. Please excuse my hostility.
Yesterday, we had the pleasure ( no sarcasm) of seeing the final pillar finished. As I handed the craftsman our check, he said to me, " I want you to know that DB really likes working with you." That made my day and as I told him, "We are trying NOT to be the clients from hell." To which he replied, "I know you are not, I am working there for DB as well."
Best I get this posted. No new pics except for the one here. I hope to have more interesting ones soon.
