Killer deal!

We've been wanting to replace the old sliding door with a new one. So when the tax return came and the door handle promptly broke we decided it is time. The old door was approximately 30 years old.



Our neighbor is a windows man. He doesn't do it for his bread and butter anymore, but he enjoys doing it. He had this door in storage from two years ago. He gave it to us for his cost. He also installed it for the base rate instead of charging more since it was a custom installation. It cost us easily 50% of what he would have charged while running his business.



We are thrilled to have a door that opens and closes easily instead of the old one that we had to wrench open and shut. It also LOCKS!!! So no more cheater bar! And the white finish looks so much better in that corner.

Now to paint the room this summer!

  1. That is exciting! I like your new window. It makes it look a lot brighter and matches your curtain and the rod!
