It’s the top of the door. Think of it like this if it makes sense. \ l l the top panel of the door isn’t flush against the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyb Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Oh, that'd piss me off as the owner (you) so much. You should absolutely try your best to have them come out and fix it at no cost, but there is a bit of this on you because you didn't handle this right away. Any word today? I didn't read the last page - did you propose they match the lowest estimate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t remember the actual breakdown of the separate jobs. We did back patio, front stoop, and driveway all at once. I want to say it was somewhere in the $3k-$6k range. Blacktop with paver border.

I have a 4 car driveway. We also had it widened about 2.5 feet. I’d say it’s close to 2.5 cars wide now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to widen ours this summer but we're doing blacktop with a paper border as well, the paver border will join directly to a new front walkway and sidewalk way with pavers as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaveByRichter35 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Tomorrow my brother in law and I begin taking back my front yard. We're renting a bobcat and digging out a bunch of the shitty sandy dirt that was excavated when my cesspool/septic tank job done in November. Getting rid of a bunch of the sand, grading/leveling, sprinkler system repaired next week and then laying down topsoil and prepping for seed once we get a streak of warmer weather. I can't wait to have grass again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I redid my back yard, the soil/grass portion was $3K for soil and seed, $5K for soil and sod. Yea, it's almost double, but in the grand scheme of the outdoor renovation, $2K isn't that big a deal for instant lawn.
