Day 199 - Glass!

Our glass arrived today. I'd love to tell you it all went well but that would would be untrue unfortunately. 

It did go well in the basement - the glass and the mirror went just fine and looks good. 




Upstairs went less well. First the glass for the window into the cut out in the light well was the wrong size and they didn't have the tool with them to adjust it on the spot. So they have to come back. 

Then it got really fun. After complaining that the wall onto which the door hinge was not strong enough to support it, they called me upstairs to show me where the tiles cracked under the weight. 

So that will need to be fixed. How exactly I'm not sure. At the very least, remove the cracked tiles and if possible put something stronger in behind like plywood before re-tiling. I don't know if we have any more of those tiles or when that work can be done we are not starting to use our new shower tomorrow like I had hoped :(

Stay tuned. 





The finished product, looks nice from a distance!
See the semi-circle crack running up on either side of the hinge


In other news, our roof still leaks and the siding guy didn't show up Thursday when he said he was going to and has been unavailable via phone for the past week. Super thrilled about that since it is now November. 

Sigh.
