Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46)
Monday - May 9, 2016
Today had a couple of events on the schedule:
1. Garage Door repairs late morning.
2. Security System/CCTV briefing mid-afternoon.
The phone rang at about 8:30 and it was the Security company. They had a sick-out today and we rescheduled the briefing for Wednesday morning.
About mid-morning I contacted the Garage Door installers and learned that the schedule was slipping. Now it was looking like 2 pm.
They showed up at 3:45 pm. Granted - and I appreciated it - they texted me a couple of times to let me know that the schedule was continuing to slip.
I had 4 door panels to be replaced. One in the 14-foot tall door that had been damaged prior to installation. 3 panels in a couple of the 10-foot doors.
When the brick had been cleaned - using muriatic acid - the person cleaning the brick had not raised the two 10-foot garage doors (the big doors were already open). The acid had been splattered onto 2 panels on the center door and on the lowest panel of the other door. I did not catch this for about a week so the splattered acid had sat on the door panels that long. With some effort the splattered areas were cleaned off but, after a week, I feared there would be future consequences. I elected to have those panels replaced.
The 10-foot doors were worked on first.
The 14-foot door was done last.
