Creative Thinking: Part 4

Amy’s project makes progress with new garage doors, insulation—and a few tips from her picky pet, Sadie.

Gary Zacchia, Owner of Fairfield Garage Door Center, fine-tunes the design of my door.

Builder Shawn Mauro reviews the electrical plan (again) after I switched to low-voltage spots from Circa Antiques at the last minute.
Sheetrock is taped and the doorway to the garage is exposed.

New entry/mudroom is taped and ready for primer.

Sadie, Amy’s Boston Terrier, is feeling left out. She puts her two cents in on where her food bowls should now go. 🙂
