They finally got the floors fixed after David stepped in and showed them how the floors were moving and how they could remove the stress points by putting in transitions at the doorways into the bedrooms to allow the main room to move independent of the bedrooms. He also suggested they pull off a couple of baseboards and cut the floor at the doorways. When they did that they found the floor was all the way up against the door jams. Once they did that, the floors fully relaxed and finally lay flat. Then the base boards had to be reinstalled and the painters brought in to fix the holes and caulk and paint them. Kelby came in and changed the ports in the burners in the stove. They had incorrectly installed natural gas ports when they did the installation. When they changed them to the propane ports our soot problem has gone away and the stove works much better. They also came in and worked on the front door which was sticking badly. The had to remove the trim around the door to access the lag bolts holding the door frame into the jack studs. After some investigation, they figured out how to widen the steel door frame and secure it enough the door could close easily. No more sticky front door! Then they had to reinstall the door trim and caulk and paint them. They also installed the bolt lock on the shop door. We are STILL working through a few other items on the punch list. Can you believe it has been almost a year since we broke ground!
