Front door...

Our front door deserves a blog all in of itself. It has been one thing after another getting this door in. The plans called for a round door, but the showroom had never heard of a round door and insisted that we go with a square door. John, being in the door business, held firm on the fact that we should get what is called for in the plans. A couple of weeks later, the showroom now carries round doors and is ready for us to select one. Coincidence? Then we get into the actual building of the house and the builders frame out a square front door. Weeks go by and we tell them that a round door is coming and they ignore us. So this week, the actual door arrived and they were a bit stumped. Out came the door frame for a square door as did the brick that was installed around it and we now have our front door installed correctly. This pictures show the inside view with the first coat of stain and the patching from the square framing. The outside view of the door is much prettier ... we promise!
