We finally installed the front door. I wanted to paint it with latex in the interior but it didn't give the right look. So I used an oil base enamel on Thursday. Problem with oil is that it takes longer to dry. The weather has been over cast so it didn't dry in all places. Some of the edges got smudged when installing on Saturday. Installing was a pain too. I measures the door openning wrong. We went to put the frame in place and found we were 1/2" short. We had to take the frame apart and cut it, with the door down by 3/4". My neighbor, Bud, came over and was a bit help. I will finish the trim this week. Still not sure whether to go with black or white. In all, it was a much bigger,more difficult project than expected.
During the day, it adds considerable light in the entryway.
I moved the old handles from the front to the back.
Shutters are ordered.
We planted more color (more to come) and mulched the flower beds too. Jarrod power washed the concrete.
The Christensen's invited Jarrod to spend the week with them at Brianhead. They invited us but we had too much to do at home. He said the conditions were great. They went tubing too.
