Running thru life... Let the sunshine IN!

You may recall in December I posted Home Project that I am taking on this year. 

Well another one in complete!
Installing a Storm Door

Our basement is quite dark and would love to add some natural light into it-
also it would be great to have to let Clemson look out. 

This sounds easy enough- you go to to Home Depot/Loews, Pick out a door and install it- right?

WRONG!!!

Apparently the way our front door is, it is necessary to build out the frame in order to install a day. 

Something that HomeDepot/Lowes/Our normal handy man is not comfortable with doing. 

URRR.... something easy turned into hard. 

So I started looking into options-
I contacted a couple contractors, and a couple companies that specialize in installing doors. 

I ended up getting estimated from 4 companies-  Ranging from $500 to $1250.

Talk about range!

We decided to go with JustDoors which is based out of Ashburn for $500. 

So they came on two Fridays ago and installed our door in less then 2 hours.

This was definitely worth paying for someone to do it since the door alone would have been 200-300 dollars.  We got an Anderson door that has a interchangeable screen for the Spring and Fall time.  I really do not know how much will with use this but only time will tell.  

After the door was installed I did a little touch up painting that I wanted to do....

 and here it is....

The only thing that still needs to be done is the guy from Just Doors has to get some more nail covers so the black nails which you can not really see in the picture will be covered and blend in with the white.  

So far we love it because it add so much light into our house!!

Clemson also loves it!!

Next house project...... Carpet 

Urrr....
