9-15-2010: garage door(s), fireplace

It seems like we've been doing a lot of waiting for the past week.  The plumbers, electricians, and HVAC guys are finished for now.  We decided on an alarm/sound system company on Monday, but they won't be out until Friday and Saturday to do their thing. 

The garage doors were installed yesterday, but the small garage door still hasn't arrived, so they put in the tracks and a temporary door.  The larger door is installed, but has a dent on the inside that I'm not too pleased about.  The house can be secured now, and they'll install the small door when it arrives.  I'm not sure how the dent issue will be resolved.

The fireplace was installed today.  Rick has been working on adding bracing to some doors and walls (especially in the bathroom areas), building a bench in the shower, moving a door opening in the master closet, etc.

The brick was scheduled to be fired yesterday and should arrive sometime next week.  The foam guys were back out today for another estimate but probably won't be available until sometime toward the end of next week.  The sheetrock guys will have to come out sometime before then to put up a sheetrock wall between the garage and the kitchen.
