We are doing a few updates on the house this spring. We bought a new front door which has a full glass front. It has brushed nickel caming and a cut glass design. It is beautiful. Shug and John (Shug’s foreman) put it up a couple of weeks ago, and it looks great. It lets so much light in. My John still needs to paint the door, but that will have to wait until it warms up. The wrought iron black storm door is still up because we may need it when John paints the door. If the door needs to dry in the garage over night, I thought we might need a door to keep the critters out! I certainly don’t want any racoons and such in the house! Once the door is painted, we will remove the storm door. We are also getting a new roof. Evidently the roof is the original, so it is about 15 years old. It is not exactly what we want to spend a bunch of money on, but it is needed. The new shingles are prettier and look more like a shake shingle pattern. It will be money well spent I am sure. It will also be an added selling point when we list the house. An additional benefit is that we have a huge dumpster in our driveway right now! Now that is living!
