Doors, Trim, and Tile... Oh My

It doesn't feel like we got a lot done today, but we are plugging away at the doors and trim and getting ready for tile. Last weekend we picked out the tile for both baths in a marathon shopping session and we may hire out some or all of that tile install. We are supposed to have somebody coming tomorrow to start, but they're from Craigslist and we haven't had the best luck with guys showing up from there. If it doesn't work out, we'll just power through it ourselves... shocker. Hopefully there will be some quick progress this week so stay tuned! Last night the fireplace stoop got done. I dare you to find the seams in that bad boy. It is only 3 tiles, but it took me almost 2 hours to complete. Our doors for the first floor and basement also arrived last night - all 11 of them - and we knocked out install on three today and added some of the trim in the basement as well. Still a lot of work ahead but we're checking things off the list.

  1. Brian, Where'd you get the doors from ?
    I'm looking to buy new doors for our basement. Any cost effective quality door sellers around ?

  2. They're JeldWen from Home Depot. Reasonably priced for a custom door. I think we averaged about $150 for primed solid core doors. It's their Craftsman II series door.
