Before the
skim coat of plaster had even finished drying the interior doors, trim and
stairs were delivered. It was exciting to see the doors and boxes because that
meant we really were heading towards completion.
Within a few
days the trim work contractor ( D.E. Zeilstra, www.dezeilstra.com ) arrived and starting installing the doors and
window trim. I was happy to see that the sills on the windows were deeper than
some contractors use. Of course I didn’t measure it but I guess the best
comparison I can give is that it will hold a Christmas window candle nicely without
fear of it being knocked off. The trim around the windows and doors is also
wider then you see in some homes. It’s the little things that make a
difference.
Doors can be
difficult to install and this is where the quality of the work really counts. On
my last house I had removed a couple of doors, frames and all, and they were a nightmare
to reinstall. Of course if I had left the trim on one side it would have been
easier. But I didn’t know that at the time.
Thank God I’m
not doing these. I had a chance to meet
the owner of the trim company and after I went room to room trying all the
doors I said to him “people will never notice a door that fits right but they
will never forget a door that doesn’t.”
These guys
are doing a great job.
Enjoy your week.
