Tuesday, June 29, 2004 They're Done Well, that's not exactly true. But the contractors cleaned up all their shit today after finishing up the siding. There's a couple of small things that need to be taken care of. For example, they screwed up the side door's screen. It won't close. It was something they did when they took it off and couldn't seem to get it back on correctly. Which is why I'm glad we have a contractor and didn't just hire different guys to work on different things. I mean, I just complain to him and he'll get it fixed. I almost don't worry about it. They also have to get rid of the dumpster on my lawn and some little clean up stuff. There's only one building inspection left sometime this week and he's done. Of course, that's not really the end. We still have painting and furniture to buy. Then moving bedrooms around and more painting...The rug came for Mike's new room today and the extra padding forces the carpet up to where I cannot remount the door (we removed it to stain it). #*($&@( So, add shaving down the door to the list of the other 42 things that have to be done before we're really done. But at least the contractor's part is ending. No more having to be up at 6:30 in the freakin' AM. The house doesn't look too bad at all. We're really happy with the new family room. More so when it's finally painted and that was a freakfest so far. We chose a color that you cannot use white primer under. But I didn't know this until after I had already done all the trim work in white. Thank God I had run out of paint, because a trip to Home Depot (who now have way too much of my money) I decided to pick up the actual color with more primer and the guy there was really helpful in explaining why white is bad. So I had to buy battleship-grey primer and redo the whole freaking room. :P The siding, despite looking light grey in the sample, turns out it's more sand colored in the real world. Which is a hint to you that you should always go outside in the real sun to see if it's what you want. Ash Grey is really Sand. We almost went with a lighter color called Oyster Shell. The house would have looked white, and that would have made us sort of pissy. White sucks. I'll have more pictures at some point. There's still lots to do and I'm trying to squeeze it in somehow. posted by Evil Wayne | 9:42 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
