Enjoying the breeze

Say hello to our new screen door!



Actually, "new" is incorrect. Bought this one at Second Use a couple of weeks ago. It was originally a very bright red, and the screen was slightly damaged. But hey, for $25, I'm up for a little repair work. Beats $100 for a decent new one I came very close to buying before calling Allison to look up Second Use's online inventory and finding this one.

We recently settled on our exterior trim colors, for when we finally get around to painting the eaves, fascia, and window casings. The door is the hale navy blue we selected, and will be the forward facing trim and fascia. The eaves, ceilings, inner window trim, etc will be cloud cover white. We hope to get that done before the summer is over...



Have a great week-

-Rob

That door really looks good with your house; good work you two, on tracking it down! I can't remember if you had another screen door there on the front before?
Did you previously get another (new)storm/screen for the side entrance? I remember Al's dad helped with that, right?
Those colors are going to look great!

Nope, no screen door on the front before. Yes, Al's dad installed those screen/storm doors on the side and rear doors. Glad you liked the paint!
