Ta Da!!!

After two (very) long days, the doors are finally in (albeit not completely dry).  There are bugs all over the house.  The air conditioning ran all day (the greatest irony being that our electric bill will be ridiculous as a result of installing energy-efficient doors).  I’m exhausted.  Matt’s exhausted.  Liam’s bouncing off the walls.  We kind of can’t believe we get to live here.

Before:

The only functioning lock (if you can call a rod that slides into a hole a “lock”) on the now defunct sliding glass door:

The completely useless broken lock on the sliding glass door:

Nasty lock with the key stuck in the back that only Matt was able to remove:

1957 “privacy” glass:

Disgusting floor register:

After Workday One:

After Workday Two:

(the paint’s not quite dry so the door is still open, but you get the idea…)

Notice the beautiful (functioning!) fancy locks:

Screens that don’t have holes or duct tape.  What a concept!

Non-disgusting floor register:

Now, off to finish the stairs…and paint the deck…whew!
