The doors.

So right before we left Andyhad a huge job to finish. He had ben working at refinishing new doorsfor our entrancefor about two weeks. This job seemedeasy enough but actually took over two weeks tocomplete. He got the doors at a place called 'Urban Recovery' which sells old doors for cheap. He took these doors and re-veneered them, varnished them, and customized them, made the frame, and installed them.
The whole thing was an experiment to make the hallway brighter and more spacious and most obviously, to replace some really ugly doors.
It was a good time to start this project since Andy has had some time to work on this but would not be doable during the school year! Cost wise, it was far cheaper to do it ourselves and a much nicer end result than the prefab doors bought at home depot.
Love our new doors, great job, honey!
