A security screen door

 before my lovely front door with my favored black wrought iron scroll work I so love.

When I was in JR high school I actually worked in the welding shop.

Something new you may not of known.

I was the only girl in metal shop.

 

Steve set to task and we enjoyed working together.

 

 Day's end here

This day began with a mission to find a door that we could feel not only safe with but that would complement the house on our budget.

I searched on Craig s list and then on line at Lowell.

On line I saw this door and really loved it.

I called a local store who told me that no longer stock this door.

However they have two of them in stock in the clearance section.

Then Jason the salesman had me wait to go and check the door to see if they might have one in good shape, He did!

A door installed would begin around $800 not including hardware of the knobs or dead bolts.

On clearance they were just recently reduced again down to $201.!

With the dead bolt and door knob, and the other supplies out the door around $260? ish.

 

We have to order a new threshold riser if we choose too.

Is that an amazing match!

I am so happy with it.

I have wanted this for years. Now I have more control over those annoying people who try so hard to get a hand in our pockets. It is so nice I could even leave the door open for fresh air now.

We placed the handle away from the window glass.

Now we have a secure front door.

Thanks be to God for such a perfect provision.

Hope you all had a greet week end.

I spent the night teaching Dove to comfort herself and to renew her mind by singing old 1800's hymns.

I told her when I could not sleep through all those hard years when I had a hard time with things in my mind this is how I would get to the other side so I could sleep.

YES she slept until at least 2 a.m. or so and then I slept beside her until morning.

Inch by inch. I conditioned her hair tonight and let her pretend to shave her legs with me.

I love having a daughter.
