The Saga of the Door

The soon to be new front door.

















Andrew began riping the trim off the inside and outside of the door to remove the old door. There were spaces where you could see daylight through.















Then our old front door sat in the front yard.....















And then we had no front door. It was around this time Andrew measured the new door and found out it was mislabeled, and in fact, too small for the opening. So then we had no front door for a long time while he went to Home Depot. Of course they didn't have the same one in the right size, so we had to make a spur of the moment decision and get whatever we could find that would fit. Of course it was more expensive.



















Jay came over to help hang the door. Here are the boys hard at work. Notice their matching shoes.



























It closes like a real door!














Here is the patch up job we had to do overnight since the trim was not completed and there were still a lot of gaps.





























And this is what the new door looks like from the outside. Not completely done, but looking sharp. It needs to be painted to match the exterior and we will put some kind of covering over the window so people can't look right in to the house from the street. I am really happy we got brushed nickel door fixtures!

THE END!
