How Convenient

To have a door next to the driveway.

When we bought this old house we couldn't even see the window in this corner. Like every other part of the garden, this area was terribly overgrown.

Some aggressive pruning revealed a rotten window in the breakfast area. Hmmm, right next to the driveway.

How convenient it would be to have a door there. Especially since the front door is so far away.

Finally on July 3rd, we hired a concrete cutting company to cut the opening in the brick. That saw went through those bricks like butter.

Voila, a door! Well, an opening anyway. We screwed plywood over it for two days while we prepped and fitted the door. We also scraped and painted, and replaced the rotten fascia board.

Just yesterday I painted the door our accent color: Calypso Blue.

We still need to install the light, make a porch, and finish painting, but we're loving this door!
