I let the local wood supplier know that his bid is not accepted.  What this means, in effect, is that I am moving towards having Accent, the Ramsey-based supplier, provide not only the 4000 feet of millwork–all the various pieces of window and door trim—but then having them do the staining and finishing.  It doesn’t make sense to haul all the raw millwork wood up here, make it beautiful, then haul it back down.

Sometimes cost issues do motivate some action.  About 10 doors are needed, doors that will have six horizontal panels—exactly the design of the 14 old doors in hand.
