Doors, Windows, and Lumber

The first delivery of our subfloor was the cheap OSB. We sent it back, and they brought the right stuff back a couple of days later.


All of the trusses for the Main floor have been delivered. We are still waiting for the next stage to start. We have a new person managing our project (Chris). We can't tell that anyone was specifically assigned before. The guy who we heard had been assigned (Mike) hardly ever showed up. Mostly we dealt with the subcontracts manager (Roy) and the owner (Pat). Mike was working on ordering our windows, but that got completely messed up. Chris is handling the order now and is much more responsive.

We talked to Pat yesterday, and they will either start our project or a house in Pascagoula tomorrow. If not tomorrow, it'll be Wednesday, or so Pat says. He tends to be optimistic, so probably next Monday.


Yesterday, we ordered our interior doors. They will be knotty alder, 8' tall. Here's a picture of a similar door (the center, solid door). The 7 doors cost $1400 w/tax, and are just the doors - no frames. A little more than we originally budgeted for, but they are pretty doors and will look nice in the house.
