The Orange Fence
The orange fence in a residential neighborhood signifies the start of some construction project, usually. In our case, it means demolition will be starting any day now. Doesn't it look official? The demolition will commence as soon as NICOR (gas company) comes out and disconnects the gas main. They were supposed to do this last Thursday, but got called out for some emergency. Utilities... they're the hardest people to coordinate. (That's another blog for another time.)
The drawings have been approved by the City, and now it's in our court to provide them Certificates of Insurance from some of the prime contractors, who aren't quite under contract yet. So in the meantime, we had an asbestos company come out and remove the asbestos-laden ceiling tile in the basement. Fortunately for us, nothing else in the house tested for asbestos.
We're meeting with our kitchen designer this week, and we've set up a meeting with an interior designer to see if she can help us with coordinating the selections - and not just pretty colors. Doors, hardware, bathroom fixtures, flooring, etc. How about this doorknob throughout the house? Maybe this is why we need help.
