It was such a nice day yesterday ... the high was about 50 degrees (or 10 degrees Celsius for my non-USA friends). SO much nicer than the 20 and 30 degree temps we've had lately! I think my husband had a bit of cabin fever this winter (who hasn't!?), and yesterday, he decided to do a little project outside. A new side entry door for our garage!
It look a little (okay, a lot) of effort on his part to dismantle the old structure, and re-structure for the new door ... evvveeeerrrrrrryyyyything is SO NOT level - both the garage and our house! That's what we get for purchasing a house built in 1909!
But, he kept at it, and now we have a new door! We (okay, HE) still needs to fix the siding above the door and paint and such, but looks good for a little Saturday afternoon project!
Here's a little visual of the BEFORE (taken almost one year ago ... March 29, 2010) ... before we scraped, primed, and painted the whole garage for the fabulous HUD requirements! I'd say that's quite the improvement!
Also to the garage, last fall, we (okay, again HE) installed a new garage door and opener! Upcoming garage projects:
- Fixing the siding on the back of the garage. A previous owner chopped parts of it apart for rabbit cages, and another previous owner decide to patch the "holes" with crappy-looking pieces of wood. Chris is going to repair it so it looks somewhat decent!
- We also have a huge shelf at the back of the garage's interior ... like, a good 5 feet high, and at least 5 feet deep ... he's ripping that out so we have more room in the garage. He's also building a work bench so he can use that space to work on cutting wood, etc for the house interior projects!
Watch for more house updates ... you know I'll be posting them! :-)
