Moulding Delivered, Garage Doors Ordered... Again!

My base and crown moulding was delivered yesterday. I had gotten two bids: one from the supplier my trim carpenter likes to work with and one from my window and door supplier. The door supplier was a bit cheaper on some items, but I preferred to use the supplier that my carpenter was accustomed to. I thought it would help the job to go smoother if he already had lines of communication with them. So I asked them if they could match the prices from my door supplier, and they did.

Also yesterday, I placed the order for my garage doors with another contractor. This was a guy that my trim carpenter recommended. He's an independent company. He was cheaper than two other local companies I checked with, and he works with Clopay doors like I originally wanted from Home Depot. Clopay has colors that more closely match my vinyl windows. The guy met me at the house to measure and confirm what I wanted. I paid a deposit of $1,500. He says the doors will take 3 weeks at the most to come in.
