Garage Service Door Replacement - mostly complete

Tweet

Hi! I just bought my house on November 15th - 2 months ago - and it's a house built in the 1950's so there is PLENTY to be done. In fact, my list of projects keeps getting longer and longer...Urg! But I am excited to make this place my "home" and continue to improve upon things that need it. The first thing I did was change the locks - but also got DEADBOLTS installed. What kind of house doesn't have deadbolts?! Very rare to find that in this area. *SO* pictured is my old garage service door (on the bottom). YES - it looks cute - but it is an "unconventional" swinging barn door that did not lock. It looked cute on the outside, but had about a 4" gap on the bottom and didn't fully secure - so on a windy day it would be swinging outwards. LOL. Almost totally pointless. So I decided to make this a bit of a priority, but I bought the CHEAPEST primed door system I could find at the hardware store - $220 and my dad had an old knob and lock for me to use. Score! I paid a family friend to install it. The only thing I plan on doing is PAINTING it, I cannot leave that door that ugly gray color. I prbably will go with a tan that sort of matches the stucco. Do you have any projects on your radar lately?
