House in Progress Diary

Take THAT! And that's a warning for the rest of ya'

The knob on the old aluminum screen door in the front of the house wouldn't go back on. Hmmmph.

So we took the wicked thing right off the house. Hinges and all. (Hint: Click to make the photo larger.)

And THEN we banished it to the back alley...never to be SEEN AGAIN!

We can see our front door better this way anyhow. (Hands on hips, my tongue is blowing raspberries at the old screen door.)

(NOTE: Actually, we're dying to put an original bungalow door BACK onto the house...this door is a muddle from the 60's. Other houses on the street have their originals. Sigh. But the wreath looks mighty nice. Just don't look at anything else. The bad tuckpointing. The really bad stucco patch job. The cracked and tilting and chippy painted front steps. You know, the stuff we haven't fixed yet.)

But! We kept that doorknob. The one that has "Security" printed onto it. As a warning and reminder to all of the other parts of the house. To keep them in line.

Just in case they've got any of their OWN ideas.....
