The door to happiness opens outward

The new doors are in- and we didn’t have to install them!

I’m almost not sure which one I’m happier about- this has been on of the few projects we didn’t try to take on ourselves. Normally I’m all for DIY- but it took the two installers 5 1/2 hours, so with our learning curve it would have taken about three weeks for us to finish the install.

They did a great job though- and the light the doors let in is amazing! (Unfortunately I didn’t get any day shots to show the sun- but I will during the next weekend…)

Before Front Door- inside and outside

New Back door- Not as exciting as the front, but still so much better!

  3. What a difference! Who knew? Screen door looks good with it too. I like the jobs when someone else does the work, don’t you?

  4. Oh-by the way-did I say they were beautiful too?? The back door used to look like something you’d find at the Safe House. So, so much better.
