Not a typo. This is our second front door, supplementing the original, and completing the front fence project we recently shared …

Last weekend was our first ‘free’ weekend in memory. Aside from a thorough post-tour house clean, we had nothing on our plates. And we were twitchy …

back side
Last summer, we painted most of our exterior, leaving just the back, and a small adjoining side section. And that’s how it stayed, until this summer …

no-purpose room
This is one of two identical bedrooms, across from our new office. And it’s yet to fulfill its long-term function (likely a guest room). Just to set your expectations low …

The weather’s relevant, as we’d be temporarily door-less. Et voilà… We’d love to install a new door, but budget dictated sticking with …
