Smart move, I don't like modifying Swing of Door.

Are you gonna put a Clear coat on to protect from scratches?
Not sure yet. We’ve discussed it
Install pricing is outrageous these days. Was gonna install Central Vac (we've had in last 4 Houses), 1 Level, 2400 square with nice and easy Crawl Space. $5000, are you nuts. Bought Stratos Shark Vac instead.
Just use a Mat finish Clear Coat, even High end Paints will scratch when someone rubs up against with Pants Belt.
I laughed at him when he told me the price. That's 1700 per window.
A lot of inspections "supposed" to happen today according to my builder and electrician. Rough electrical, plumbing, rough mechanical, doors and windows. Fingers crossed!
All inspections passed! Should really get busy at the house now starting next week.
Congrats
Thanks. A lot will kick off now. Insulation will start going in, then drywall, floors, cabinets, etc. Outside will fully be done next week minus the stucco which will be last and driveway being concreted as I haven't decided on a person yet.
Just had my AC Unit replaced. Was original to when the house was built in 1992……. Not that I’ll need it anytime soon, currently 35 and a snow mix going on.
These were anderson 400s lol. Guess it could be worse
Was on the phone with Lowe’s today because our appliance delivery date got pushed to the right another 3 weeks. Call them and they are like, oh it’s because you ordered a microwave that is no longer being made so the system keeps pushing it to the right. Everything is already here…I’m like you ordered it for me in store because the one i picked out you stated that this was the replacement to it… needless to say I cancelled the microwave and got my original delivery date on everything else but have to find another countertop black steel microwave. But, inside is starting to go back together and shiplap is going up and front door goes in tomorrow and French doors Wednesday.
Love that shiplap
I wonder about Lowes sometimes. Got the microwave they "couldn't" get after they ordered direct from LG and got it cheaper than Lowes price. Oh and it will be here Monday lol.
Its better than homey despot
Front door installed and siding has started.
Can't wait to see the finished product. Coming together!

It sucks! Went through 5 different company's and brands. One was almost $40K for 13 windows and a patio door. Granted two of the windows are bigger than the 8' slider...but WHAT!
Settled on a company that was smaller and more like my business. Plus upgraded with sound package and sun block on the south windows. Wasn't even close to half the high bid. So much overhead and advertising for the big companies.
Siding was finished. Have to have them fix a couple pieces of facet but no big deal. French door goes in today or tomorrow. Drywall is being delivered tomorrow to start on Wednesday. Painting kicking off next week. Flooring going in the 29th. Cabinets being delivered 5/10. Bad news about it is the countertops will cause us not to completely finish by the deadline. Builder will finish minus backsplash in the kitchen and faucets in the kitchen.
Fantastic
Looks great!
