New Door

After going to Home Depot and Rona and getting quotes from the people at those stores for my new bedroom door, I decided to go a different route. The big stores quoted me $400 total, which includes measurement, installation, the door, hinges, door stopper, knob and creating the door jam. It's interesting to note that my door frame is an odd size, so I'm going with a 30" door and building the door jam. You save money by not getting a custom ordered door.

Anyways, my sister is having her floors installed in the same building and my parents suggested that I get a quote from the contractor (Ross) at the same time. It will be roughly $200, and he's going to select the door tomorrow and pick up the rest of the stuff.

Apparently, it will take about an hour to install, so I'll putter around my house and do chores chores in the meanwhile.
