Bye-Bye Old Ugly Doors

Well, I swore that I wasn't going to do any more projects in this house after we tried to sell it this summer and were unsuccessful (stupid economy crisis!)

BUT, the original plan was to try again this summer since we thought that it would take more than a day to get pregnant. However, since we have this wonderful blessing of precious Anabelle coming into our lives this year, it seems that it will be at least next summer before we attempt to sell again.

SO, (sigh) I decided to do a door project. Our old doors were in bad shape and after we put in new floors last year, the workers were never able to get the bi-fold doors in the kitchen to go back on properly.

Yesterday, we had our carpenters here for about 6 hours. Since our house was built in the 70s, all of the doors had to be fitted to the jambs since nothing in standard anymore. They were able to get that done and those doors hung. However, they are going to have to be taken down again to be hauled to their shop to be painted with a spray machine. Here are some pics of what is happening so far:

Here is a pic of one of the new doors, they came primed but are not painted yet and don't have the hardware on them yet.

Here is a picture of our old, plain white doors.

My carpenters are on another job all week, but it looks like they will probably be back on Saturday to fit the bi-fold doors in the kitchen and the door to the garage. Then they are going to have to take all of these doors to be painted and bring them back to be re-hung and the hardware fitted. I imagine that will be happening the following week. This whole thing is a beat down, but I am sure it will all be worth it in the end!
