Day 2 Note From Jill

Matt:

Samples have been dropped off this morning—I left them on the kitchen table, I have marked my (2) favorites. Let me know what you think.

Put a post-it note on the area in question on the doorway—I will take a look at it tomorrow when I meet with the electrician.

Two things noticed this morning during demo (already):

1) We plan on leaving the tile floor in place, it is very secure and the new tile will go over it just fine. We will be using a spray foam insulation in the walls next week, instead of the standard batt insulation (this is the product you see on TV that get sprayed in and expands). Better product, improved R-value.

2) The piping under the sink looks pretty funky (rotted). Once the walls are open, we may recommend that this area be replaced/replumbed (not in the original proposal). I will let you know our thoughts.

Also, some plumbing materials are being delivered to the house today. You may need to find a home for them temporarily until they are needed.

I am going to have the electrician install the ceiling boxes in the same location that the lights are hanging currently, with the recessed light in the center (or as close to original based upon ceiling obstructions that we may find).

The top in the vestibule will go wall-to-wall. We will plan on installing it above the height of the mail door when it is opened.

All for now….

Jill
