Doors and Door Handles

As I promised, here is a picture of the front door.

I haven't decided what color to stain it yet.

Originally I was going to stain it to match the floor of our Trex (wood looking) floors on the porch.

But we decided against the Trex flooring and went with cement floors.

So..............I'm not sure what to do with the color, maybe black to match the roof?

I wanted to show you the transom window above the door.

It's my favorite part.

We really like the darker bronze finish that some of the door knobs have right now, but we had to do the silver to match the silver lead in the cut glass design in the door.

When the sun shines through the front door in the late afternoon it makes beautiful rainbows all over the floor.

Here is a shot of the basement walk out.

We went with the silver to match the lead in the doors also.

We have decided the single lever door handle is so much easier to use than the regular door knob, so we are going to use these as much as possible. 

Right now Big Ran is still working on siding the eaves, he will be done with that this week.

Moving right along.

Here's What's Happening At Our House

The building crew is done with the structure of the house.

All of the windows and most of the doors are in.
We still have a couple that are special ordered that aren't in yet.

Do you like the grids in the windows and some of the doors?
They are between the glass, the only way to go as far as cleaning them!

We are buttoning up for the winter now.

Big Ran is working on siding the eaves.

He's doing a great job.

Yes, it is nice to have a husband that can do that!

What are you guys doing around your place?

Yes, We Are Still Building a House

In case you are wondering, we are still building a house.

We have a gorgeous black roof on.

It's hard for me to get a good straight on shot of the house because right beside me is a huge pile of dirt with weeds growing out of it.

It is finally starting to look the house plan,

don't you think?

  </>

Since my last post we have added a front porch and part of the windows and doors, too.

It has really changed the look of the house.

I am going to take some more pictures of the front door and show them to you very soon.

In the mean time, this is a close up of it.

Here is a shot of the cleaning crew.

Obviously Madison and Big Ran are moving really fast.

But Shafer stopped long enough to get his focused picture taken!

Window Shipment is Here

Now we are getting somewhere!!

The windows and the front door have arrived. 

We ordered them from Lansing Building Products, they were the only company that had the transom that I wanted for the front door.
And I must tell you, it is awesome.

There are triple windows, double windows with transoms, and I think every window is a different size.

Some of these windows are very heavy.

But don't worry, I was out there to supervise!

Before long they will be installed and you will be the first to know!
