Doors!

Anyone who has done home renovations will tell you: it ain't no joke. Of all the things we had to do to this house, and there were many, getting the front doors replaced has been the most trying. I won't even go in to the molasses of it all. However, this past Saturday, J and I took a drive down to Barnegat, NJ, with all the other travelers to the shore (a 90 minute drive that ended up taking 3 hours), and finally found the entry doors to the house.

The Doors, the doors, the doors!

See, it's a 110 year old victorian row house. Incredible detail, all intact. Size was the issue, style was the issue, cost for customized, period doors was the issue, getting the contractors to get some fire under their ass was the issue, blah, blah, blah.
but, we finally found them!! Next step is having them restored and installed, and finally removing the covering over the transom. Almost done. Well not really, you're never done.
Yea! Doors!!
