Alex 9/4: Evaluate interior doors should have Carson tagged instead of Wongs. Keep Lux/Trustile/Hintex in detail. Alex 8/31: waiting to evaluate doors from Lux Doors, Trustile, and Hintex. Parked Lux / Trustile rows and the old Hintex-vs-Reeb framing are off the hold list. Prior notes still in the file for context: Trustile TMP1004 / TMUN1000 were liked on paper then felt too heavy in person; Alex 8/30 sent Hintex Urban Liso white oak 36x96 pre-hung (~125 lb) as a candidate. Reeb / LD are not the live eval set. Carson 8/31 12:55 PM ET (Re: Finish work pricing): does not know the Hintex doors. Drawings show white wood for the rails and styles; unsure what they mean by white wood. Sending the Hintex link to his rep to see if something similar exists. Thinks the weight is like the LD doors. Will get back shortly. Amanda Reiter / Lux Doors 8/31 2:37 PM ET (RE: Invisio door): Invisio 3x8 prehung core is MDF/particle board, ~120 lb. Alex also asked the same core/weight question on Horizon; her reply does not name Horizon. Not a brand lock. Ruvy Macabante / Lux Doors 8/31 4:25 PM ET (RE: Alex Wong : Interior Stain Grade Door): asks which specific stain-grade interior door; catalog https://luxdoors.com/collections/interior-stain-grade-doors.

Central vacuum: yes, installing

Whole house · Alex / Carson

Alex 8/31: decided on central vacuum (yes). Was parked as a May 12 maybe; Carson had only built one house with it. Brand/kit not named yet — Carson should plan rough-in. Not a live open.
