They explained it all to me this morning and were very good about it too. They showed me some of my existing molding and how what they were doing matched that (except for the crookedness in some areas).

So - it's all good and they are going to fix the areas that need fixing.

To be honest this contractor has treated me better than the city has. There were some issues with the ventilation system that on the drawings said one thing but when explained to me by the city worker were quite different. So they started the work per the drawings and we commenced to give birth to a full grown cow.

The city's response has been to not return my calls and tell the contractor that "this is what they signed and approved - this is what you will do."

So, the contractor met me today and said - "how can we work this out?"

We went over it and came up with a very amicable and simple solution.

Regarding the dimpled glass - one is a mistake and the other is a bathroom window. I'm not happy with the way the City has been unresponsive to me, we live in a pretty small town here so I will be happy to bring it up to the mayor personally. Still, I'm heading over to their office today to discuss their not calling me back in person with them.
