Random Notes

No call from Frank yesterday; need to call him back today. Cruised by the site last night (he wasn't there, but the plumbers were, and he had left behind roofing shingle samples... we've selected the Oakridge Pro 30 series Onyx Black color as our first choice, the Driftwood color (a kind of medium gray) as our second.

I'll cruise by again this morning on the way to therapy... hopefully, he'll be there. If not, I hope Juan Antonio is there... maybe he has an answer as to why our lock is gone, replaced by an old Master lock... which it seems that noone has the key to (as the gate is off the hinge and the lock still locked when the workers are there...).

I'm hoping to get info from Frank re: the doors and talk to him about soffitting in the tub.

---------------------------

UPDATE (noon): Cruised by the site and dropped off the samples with Juan Antonio, with a note citing our preference. He asked about the lock (seems he was taken by surprise on this as well). I took another copy of the lock off the back shed, and gave it to him. So they'll cut off the Master and replace with this one.

Frank just called. I gave him our shingle preference. Talked to him about the tub; not a problem, he says... they soffit the tub all the time. He asked about the doors; I asked if the front door was usable. He apologized for not remembering to check. He'll be at the house later today; we're hoping to meet up when I go to pick up Kyle from school... if we can, we'll check the door and I'll get measurements for the other doors.

---------------------------

UPDATE (3:30): Met Frank at the site. They're installing windows... I'll get pictures in the morning. He needs doors: the front 36" and the kitchen and master bedroom, both 32". Reusing the front door is a no-go... they didn't keep the jamb. I told him I'd get the doors tomorrow and deliver them to the site Saturday morning. It's moving ahead again.

By the way, Lisa can see the top of the west-facing gable from school. It's pretty cool...
