Nuttin' New

Sorry for the lack of excitement... don't have a whole lot to report.

- Someone was by this week & measured up for the shower door in the ensuite bathroom. We were holding off because it was going to be pretty pricy but turns out that the standard slider is quite nice and better yet, the builder is paying for it!
- My pantry door also arrived this week but of course it was "too good to be true" and I sent it back... they used birch wood this time, instead of maple, and the colours were so different! Didn't even look like the same stain - it was but both woods just absorb it differently. The trim is a dark espresso and the door they delivered looked more like a watered down weak coffee, if that makes sense!? Someday...
- Still some other interior trim work to be fixed up as well...
- The neighbourhood is slowly getting scratch coated (the step before stucco) but the houses that aren't sold yet or have just been lived in for two weeks are first on the list... makes the most sense right? Argh! Not to mention it is holding up getting railings around the porch and building the back deck, since the pillars need to be stucco'd before that can happen.
- We do appreciate our site manager, Jack - if it weren't for him we probably wouldn't even have drywall or paint yet... seriously!!! He's just as frustrated as us but is limited in what he can get accomplished in a day & the owner dictates a lot of what goes on even though he's clueless...

So that pretty much sums up what's going on... or not going on....
