Work Work Work...continued

Ok...so here is one of the really big projects we have been working on! WE HAVE FRENCH DOORS! Yes, the rumors are true. The horrible, difficult to open, ugly, can't lock them, sliding glass doors are gone! Now we have these beautiful french doors that are almost done being painted!

Here is a quick reminder of what they looked like before:


Now, here are the doors, obviously in the middle of being painted pre-installation.



















And now...a hole in the side of our house! Well, we did need some ventilation! HA! Dave and Ray had a very interesting time ripping that hole in our house. Nothing is simple when your house is 113 years old.

































This a panel from the patio door they took out. We are taking these and turning them into picture windows to use in the attic. Dont worry there will be tons of pictures when that happens. But I think it is a brillant reuse of perfectly energy efficient glass!



And now....the door! Yes, we are still painting it...hence the blue tape. I will post a picture when it is totally done so you can see the beautiful final product!
