Door done, fee paid


The big door that will make it possible to split an over-size master bedroom into two rooms was completed today. Handy-man Marucci and his helpful assistants finished at noon. The door looks great.
The job involved moving electrical, cable, patching sheetrock, installing baseboard, laying new tile and, of course, hanging, keying and painting the eight-foot glass door. That means at least five trades were represented in the project. It all came in as bid with Kathleen (she's the boss, Stan explained to Marucci) signing the check.
Steve handled the contract negotiations, but he's home by now.

There may have been a communication problem about whose responsiblity it was to paint the final coat of white wall paint. Either that, or it is the worst cutting in job in painting history. We choose to believe the former, and hold Steve responsible.

Kathleen and Stan will finish the job and send the bill to Steve.
