Front Door, Revisited


Back in October, I posted about the prospect of getting a new front door and transom. We loved the idea of getting the door replaced prior to the cold winter months, but it was, shall we say, cost prohibited.

Somewhere along the way, we spoke to a friend of ours who happens to be a handy sort of fella. Well, this fella (Greg) has a small business doing construction and the like. He had some ideas of how to make the project reasonable.

Basic fiber glass doors were ordered from the Home Depot. Greg found a local glass guy who was able to make the re-lights and the transom. I went shopping for super cool hardware at the oh so lovely Chown Hardware.


We waited a few weeks for the doors to arrive, and then work began. Currently, the doors are in the garage, stain drying, and awaiting modification. Greg will cut the doors to install the relights in the same fashion as the Langston.

Installation is estimated for this weekend.
