The Door





Downstairs in our games room we added another door going into the washroom. Daryl had to reroute electrical, measure and cut a big hole, frame, drywall and mud the new opening. We made a new doorway because the original layout was stupid and required anyone in the main area to walk through the utility area, through another bedroom and finally into the bathroom. the guy who layed out and "remodeled" the basement originally, was not skilled nor did he have any knowledge as to safety and building codes. Thankfully, Daryl has been able to tear most of the work out and make the place safe for us. Karen's job, during all of Daryl's hard work is to paint (insert Karen's gagging sound here, as she sooooo loves to paint.) Actually, I don't mind it. We have wood throughout the house and it is framing everything, but some of the doors in the basement were white, and have stickers and glue and sparkly stuff all over them which I (karen) was unable to scrub off. Therefore, I decided to "faux" paint the doors to cover up all the mess and to try to make them blend in with all the other wood.

Ooo, you're so handy, Karen! And, er, Daryl too, of course...
