During the construction last year, the garage door was the first thing to go. However by Decemeber we needed a new one. The plastic sheet did a great job of keeping the snow out, but not the frigid temperatures! As money was limited, we decided to make one. So on Christmas Day, Chris built a plywood door, with hinges so we could open and close it. It actually worked fairly well. However as the exterior remodel progressed and now that the outside of the house is starting to look nice, we felt the plywood door didn't really fit in too well. So we ordered a new one online, and on Friday a guy came and installed it! The decision now is whether to paint it blue, like the front door, or leave it white? What do you think?

| The original doors - would have been a little drafty if we had kept them - and if I recall correctly we didn't get a chance to save them - the construction guys binned them! |
 |
| The plywood door Chris made on Christmas Day - not an ideal way to spend Christmas (but I've had worse!) |
 |
| Chris had to frame the door, so the door size we ordered would fit! |
 |
| Garage door installer man - only took him a few hours, which was great! |
 |
| The door installed. Just need to put trim around the wood framing. Hopefully that will get done this week! |
 |
| Once the blue trim is up around the windows and doors, the exterior will be finished (for this year anyway!!) |
