When One Door Closes.....

"They" say that when one door closes another door opens. In our case, the doors closing would be our garage doors. In a good way. As of right now, they don't open but that should be fixed by the end of the day. If it was ever possible to be in love with a garage door, than consider me smitten.

The doors were installed yesterday piece by piece. The guy installing them felt the need to flag me down after I got home work to inform me that the garage roof slopes from one end to the other. Relax buddy, the house is 50 years old and we live on the east bench of the Wasatch mountains. And you are talking about a 2 inch difference. I hear that and I think, great water drainage. It is sturdy and levelish. The engineer who designed the structure was so concerned that Michael, the lawyer, would sue him. The result is that our roof deck ended up being over engineered given its intended use. It is a few notches below what is required for a "dance floor" with 1000s of people twerking. Apparently that is the highest of all standards when building a deck.

So back to what "they" say. When one door (or three garage doors in this case) close, another will open. In our case what opens is our windows. FINALLY.



The angle of the above picture does not highlight the amazing city view Michael will have each night as he washes dishes. The shot above also does not show the view I will have from the couch each night as Michael washes the dishes.

With the exterior painting still in progress though, you could say that the windows closed again....

Continued work is happening in the master shower, including hardy board throughout and a solid coat of water proof slime in the shower stall itself. Because it is a steam shower, the entire thing must be water proofed. Right now it looks like a room where the victim might be kept in a badly produced horror film.

Hopefully I will be checking back later this week and showing you a less Halloween inspired bathroom. One with tile. And marble floors. And fixtures.
