Complete in just over 3 short months (no sarcasm here)...







This experience would have been helpful back during my first year of law school when I was trying to understand the craziness of the disputes between general and subcontractors...here are some pics.

Thanks for reading!

"the entryway doesn't look as bad in the dark"

my husband says to me. We got back from a weeklong vacation yesterday, while we were away the hardwood floors of our entryway had been sanded down and refinished, damaged board replaced which I had expected to love but am struggling to even like. Turns out I liked the entryway with 30+ years of wear and dirt and now that they look new and don't like them anymore. It didn't help that there was dust from this project all over the house, including our kitchen and dining room (yuck!). They'll have to grow on me I suppose...

The numbers have been re-set on the house so no more lost delivery persons although they were re-set in a different place and so the mark from where they used to be is sort of an eye sore that we'll still need to remedy. A new outdoor light is finally up.

The driveway is partially repaired, some work left to go on that.

The funny thing, we were told 3 months of ago that none of this was being done because they needed to get the door in first, well door was still not in until late this afternoon. But now that it is, I am starting to feel better about the whole ordeal to the point where I could bring myself to type this update. We still can't use said door because the hardware we were told we could re-use actually doesn't fit the door we ordered. Tomorrow the door will be stained and I hope post an AFTER picture and a final message...not keeping my fingers crossed though.
