So off we went to find our front door. We checked out a few places but most places needed to order the doors in. And we (okay, I) was fussy with what I wanted in a door. A door that wasn't too modern but that would let natural light into the lounge room. And here is what we ended up with.
Boss, Mrs Boss and I got to work marking and cutting out the new placement for the Castle's front door.
Putting the door frame in and securing it into position. Making a door header and creating a recess for the door hinge to sit into.
All installed (while the front of the house was still naked)
And because we hadn't yet decided whether we were going to stain or paint our new "drawbridge", so we covered the door with heay duty plastic from the hardware store to prevent the rain getting to our unfinished door.
Have you ever installed a new front door? Would you paint or stain? Any tips on painting or staining?
