Small House Projects

 

This summer has been brutal in terms of heat and humidity, so Mark decided to build a screen door to help with airflow in the house. We were naive and thought that building a screen door from scratch would be the cheapest route. After we built the door, my parents found a screen door at a garage sale for $10. Gah!

Above, my mom is helping put the finishing touches on the door by painting it white. Ironically, she is using some of the paint samples we got for the interior, so the door will match our white trim inside the house! :)

Below is a picture of the lovely new door in place! I think it turned out really nicely. Because it opens towards the wall, it is a lot more difficult to flip the light switch for the garage, so Mark also installed a motion sensor. Now every time you open the screen door to go into the garage the light turns on automatically. It's like living in the future!
