The biggest thing was that Jonathan and I installed our front screen/glass door. Quite a project. It's in about 100-some-odd pieces when you open the box.
Because everyone's door frame is a little different, they can't pre-assemble it. The scariest part was drilling big holes in the door itself, for the lock and handle. Yikes!

AFTER
We chose black with nickel finish, and we think it looks pretty sharp.
Some of the other things that happened this weekend: Sue went to a hairstylist and came back with cascading bangs. We cleaned out the garage a little and elevated our front and back trees a bit more. (We're still hoping that back tree comes back strong this spring.) We turned the compost, and we did some preliminary tests on the exterior of the house to see what all it will take to scrape and paint it. Check back tomorrow for an update on that front; we used a heat gun and an infra-red heat box!
We also jogged by this house. It's structurally the same as ours, but they built something on the back. It's been on the market for $290,000 for a while. Looks pretty nice, but it's adjacent to retail on North Main, and wow, their wall-papering job upstairs makes us want to scream.
Ah well... happy Monday!
