Front Door FUN...

The front door was already to go... I was just waiting for the perfect weather to commence tearing out the entire entry wall...

Well I finally got perfect weather... The HOTTEST week of the year so far !

So I ripped the old wall down and Martha says... "It is interesting being married to you..."  I am still not sure what she meant...

I had to raise the threshold by 1/2 inch so the new door would clear any rug near the door in the entry hall.













I had to protect the inside of the house from weather and heat... man it was hot...



We were clearly styling for a few days this week !






























The new door is really heavy and it was a struggle at times.  It was hard work and I lost 5 pounds... tough diet.  I slept just inside the door for two nights to be the night watchman (who slept on the job even thought the plastic was flapping in the breeze).

In the end I am prevailing.  The outside is done and the inside is close.
















I haven't made the trim for the inside yet as I wasn't sure I would like it...  Different... huh?
