Another long-overdue home improvement for us. Yay! The garage door folk came yesterday and replaced the garage door. The new one is metal (with Real Faux Wood Grain), painted a dark brown (close to, but not identical, to our selected trim color), insulated on the inside, and, with the new garage door opener, about a tenth as noisy (which will delight Margie to no end, every morning at 5:30a or so, as I leave the house for work).
Not cheap. But done.
I don’t think we’re going to get the house trim and deck painted this season, though. Weather’s turned too cold. I might do something with the trim out front at the garage door (esp. where it got worked on by the garage door people), but the rest will have to wait for spring.
But, really, it’s been an amazing year in the HI biz. The french doors. The buffet (finished). The a/c and furnace. The garage doors. The siding. Yowzers.
All we have to do next year is finish up the paint and start doing terracing/steps in the front yard. W00T. Then replace the deck. Then, of course, move. No, just kidding about the last.
Huzzah!
So, did the paint police ever pass final judgement on all of your work over the summer. Never heard how that all ended.
Yup. The Head Paint Policelady was very, very enthused by how our siding turned out, and didn’t bat an eyelash at our color/trim decisions. Huzzah!
