Doors and Trim

Progress continues with the house. The trim guys are now working. All the doors are hung in the main part of the house. There was only one door which we requested that they change. It was for the pantry. They had installed it to open into the pantry and we wanted it opening out so that we could have more room for shelves. These doors are the latest that the builder has decided to install in all his new homes. Previously he installed a six panel door, but he said everyone is doing that and he wanted to be different. The door above is located in the front bedroom entry. You can also see the casing and baseboards being used. They had not yet hung any crown molding.

These doors are to the closets in the second and third bedrooms. We were glad that he decided to install these doors instead of the fold-out doors which are normally installed.

The only big surprise is that he also ordered these same doors for the bonus room. We had asked him about what the doors cost so that we could decide if we wanted to go with a more economical option. The next thing we knew, he had them ordered. We are waiting to see the cost number.

The trim guys has also been working on the framing of the screened porch. According to the builder, the decking will be installed next week. I am assuming that the pilars will be installed at the same time around the back covered porch.

We picked up all the electrical fixtures yesterday from the store. Since we are going to be gone for Jenny's graduation, we did not want to delay anything. We will talk with the builder as to when to bring the fixtures to him.
