New doors

It is Memorial Day weekend. Normally, in the past we have gone camping. With all that is going on with the economy, I feel more like saving, paying off bills, etc. So we decided not to go camping. Still, I miss it. It is such a great time. We did get some camping food and are grilling out this weekend. 

For our birthdays - we used our birthday money to buy new screen doors. Our front screen door was literally rotting away and no longer closed. The back screen door - is no longer a screen - as the screen has a large gapping hole in it. My mother said we could fix the screen but honestly the frame of the door isn't that much better than the screen. We are opting for new ones. 

We really wanted to get the screen doors fixed in time for the nicer weather. It is so much nicer in the house if we can leave them open to allow for a better breeze and ventilation. Plus, T and the kids painted the doors. They look wonderful. They did a great job. T just has to let the last coat of paint dry and they re-install the back door. The front door and the front screen door are done. 

T still has to install the back screen door but he can handle doing one door a day. The other door will have to wait until tomorrow. Home projects are just not his love. He can fix a computer with no issues but home repairs he really doesn't like to do. And I understand - it is one of those necessary evils in life.
