Novabrik & Front Door Arrive!!

After almost 3 months of waiting our front door is finally ready. Dave picked up our front door on Monday, June 4th. It's 8 ft tall and 42 inches wide. It's a solid core door with mahogany veneer. We ordered it from Norman Door and Plywood in Norman, OK. They had the best price around for the size of door we needed. Needless to say, we're very pleased with the door. Dave has stained it, now we're in process of varnishing it.

The brick layers have started to brick around the door. Here's Daria showing off her cheerleading shirt. You can see how massive the door is compared to Daria's size.


Deanna's sweeping up the sawdust next to a pile of leftover baseboards. Notice the baseboards, crown molding and the color of the walls.


Here's Dillon drawing on the styrofoam wall in the dust that has accumulated on the wall. You can see the Novabrik is starting to go up, too.







The kids strike a pose on Dave's truck. We're all excited about our Novabrik arriving and our front door!


Going backwards in my photos. This is when our 14 pallets of Novabrik arrived on May 30, 2007. We ended up hiring a truck through OK Steel & Wire , where Dave works, to deliver. It was less money than using one of Novabrik's trucks. We, also, hired a friend of Ronnie Nichols, the Novabrik dealer in Wilson, to use his forklift to unload the truck.


Deanna became fast friends with the truck driver and even got to blow the horn a couple of times.

Nice door! Will the brick eventually cover the entirety of the walls? Is the interior wall color the paint color? I really like it. Some day I want to decorate with a Nigerien theme and I want my walls to be terra cotta because that's what they use here. It is mud "painted" on and it's a really neat color.

Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Opera.

I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to
let you know. The design and style look great though!
Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Kudos

What are the novabricks on the sides of the door. We are getting ready to do novabrik but cannot figure out how to trim the door?
