January 5, 2020 We found our front door

We are trying to use reclaimed and reused things for the Farmhouse build where we can. This is both an economical thing as well as a philosophical statement of a sort. The idea of it is to put economical decisions where they belong, in third place. So I shop Craig's List every day, scouting bargains.

The door is finished in natural wood stain,
I added the turquoise color using Photoshop.

This morning we found the front door.  A Craftsman styled pre-hung door which we picked up this afternoon. I paid him $185 for the door, he asked $190 but I read it as two-hundred and only had a five dollar bill, so  $185 it is. If he'd been asking $400 I'd have gladly given it.  At Home Depot the door goes for $1221.

The guy who had it listed was a man like myself. In retirement he built a wonderfully eclectic tiny  B&B up in the gentrified Alberta neighborhood. He had some of the best weird stuff out among the plants and paths. We want to be like him someday.
"Turquoise is one of our favorite front door colors. It may be a bit unusual but, but it’s perfect if you crave emotional balance, have big hopes and dreams and believe that anything is possible. , ."
