We've been moving along at such a productive pace, but it feels like things have come to a screeching halt. About a week and a half ago, just after we decided on interior and exterior doors, interior trim, etc., we found out the supplier, ProBuild, is going out of business. Sadly, this economy is so hard on the building industry. Tom, our GC, was on board with another supplier right away, but this still puts us behind because we have to wait for estimates when we thought we were waiting for delivery. We need the temporary exterior doors to continue. That's another 2 or 3 weeks. I had a meeting with the new supplier, McIlwee Millwork, at the house and just as we were wrapping up a ProBuild truck arrived with 2 of the 3 exterior doors. (The third is due to arrive tomorrow.) The funny thing is neither Tom, Tony or I signed off on an order for doors with ProBuild, but here they are! The doors will be installed at the end of the week and insulation is scheduled for next week so in the end we didn't loose much time. Tony thinks we could be moving in by Christmas, but I think January. This is the one time I hope Tony is right!
