Here's a word of advice to those building a house, or thinking of building a house...never expect something to be done on the time frame you're told! Subcontractors are notorious for jobs running over or not being where they're supposed to when they're supposed to. We were supposed to have our drywall begin yesterday at noon, however, the job they were working on didn't wrap up when anticipated, thus ours got pushed back to today. Apparently in the drywall/Sheetrock world, your subcontractor sub-contracts out the hanging of the drywall. Then the guy you hired comes back and does the taping and spraying. So hopefully we'll be able to get a few more sub-contracted hangers in tomorrow so the first floor and basement can get started. Here a few shots of what got finished today.
By the way, we also got our front door installed, minus the actual door. John didn't want to install the finished product in the event people hit/scratch/dent it. But you'll get the idea by the sidelights, etc.
Enjoy!

Your front door unit looks great. Who was the manufacturer?
ReplyDeleteThe front door/entry system is from ThermaTru. I searched and searched for one that I liked within our price range, and fortunately our window/door guy was able to come through. The grids are not between the glass as I wanted them to be a feature. They are actually applied to both the inside and outside, which you'd typically see with wood, but our door is fiberglass. The house sits on top of a hill and has a pretty nasty west/north wind, so we knew wood was pretty much out of the question maintenance wise. I'm very happy with it! I can't wait to see the actual door instead of the dummy one!
