There have been many opportunities for on-site solutions.  This is the master bathroom door.  Mike framed the opening according to framing measurements in the plans.  Terry made the door in Mississippi based upon the door schedule.  The delivered door was 7' in height, the opening 8'.  Oops...we have twelve empty inches, the plaster completed, no other use for this 7' door...we do have a bit of a problem.  I asked Terry if he thought he could make a transom to take up the remaining space.  Oh, yes, he could...but he could even do better than that.  His wife, Cindy works with stained glass as a hobby.  Now we're talking about a whole new direction and I like it!  Cindy asked Terry if she shouldn't get my approval for the design.  Terry confidently said, "No, she'll love it - let's surprise her!"  This installed transom was my first view of it and he was right.  It is really beautiful.  It makes my heart sing!
