Interior doors and more tiling.

  As we only have a few weeks left I figure it's probably time for another posting to show whats been going on. Each night I have been going to the house and verifying that some progress is being made each day. We can't afford any day without some type of progress if we want to finish by the end of the month.

 

During the first part of the week the contractor focused on finishing the bathroom tiling. Overall I am very pleased with their work. Both bathrooms turned out exactly like I had sketched them, so I can't complain.

 

Today the Contractor began installing the interior doors and trim. Nothing really special about the doors. Originally I wanted solid pine doors and the Contractor agreed that he would buy them. But after he realized that solid pine doors were twice as much as what he normally buys, he told me once again that I would have to pay more. I decided this fight wasn't worth it and let him install the standard 6 panel door. I also noticed tonight when I went to the house that they installed the fascia board in the front of the house. The fascia board is basically the only barrier between the outside and my tiny attic space. Thanks to my Dad's suggestions the Contractor installed several air vents along the board.
