Screen Door

I've been lucky to have Chuck (cousin) come up a couple times from GA and give me a hand with some projects around the house! This screen door looks like any easy project huh? Ha... not if it's a Shaw project! :-) When the front door was originally installed it was totally wrong. So the first step to installing the screen door was to rip the existing front door out and re-install it correctly. Haha it get's better... well considering this is a log home, the exterior walls are solid yellow pine. Of course the initial opening was too small so I had to make a cut across the top of the opening to make it taller. This was accomplished with a saw-zaw. (Chuck always seems to find a tool I don't have! LOL My tool collection grows with each visit.) This was heightened to a new sense of fun as I sawed through many knots, standing on a ladder with saw dust in my face! (Chuck was kind enough to take the supervisorly role. hehehehe) It was an all day project and I was whupped by the time we cleaned the tools up! We've been enjoying the wonderful breeze. (I'm still wondering if all that work was really necessary! :-P) I just need to put some polyurathane on it and we'll be good to go. I've enjoyed the time spent with Chuck. He's taught me a ton in just a few short visits. I'm saving for hardwood floors next. Charlie you may need a vacation day to recover from the next project! hahaha
