Knock, Knock…

Who’s there?

Our front door, that’s who!!!

Our long lost front door finally arrived today. This finally wraps up our window and door order with Jeld-Wen. I would say dealing with them has been one of the most stressful parts of our house build so far, thank goodness it is over.

All our exterior doors are fiberglass, so they can be stained like wood. Since it is mid-winter, none of the staining will be done until the spring. So even though the door looks a little weird unstained, it still is great just to have it installed.

As for the drywalling, the have a few final things to finish up tomorrow and all the drywall is installed. Mudding and taping will start tomorrow and we have been told it will take two weeks.  Of course Christmas week is a write off, so it will be 3 weeks, at least, before it is completed. They have promised to get the powder room finished first so we can set up a toilet and sink in there right away. Maybe next week we will have a working indoor bathroom, what a great Christmas present that would be.

Hoping to see the siding guys here sometime this week, no sign of them today.

Still lucking out with the weather. Temperatures are above zero during the day and night for the next 4 days.  Makes those out door showers a little less traumatic.
