One of the main things we wanted to fix with this house is the front entry area.  Right now it's, well, about as inviting as a funeral home...dark, with ugly doors and no character.  We've been shopping around for doors for a while but never found anything that really excited us, and the price of new doors can be pretty outrageous.  A few weeks ago while talking with a coworker who just recently renovated an old house, we were offered a chance to pick through some old doors they didn't need.  We ended up with a few solid wood doors...a 24" we can use for the bathroom, and two 32" for the two bedrooms.  The biggest find was two pocket doors, with each leaf 36" wide and 8 feet tall and glass inserts they can make the perfect front doors into each apartment.  But of course with everything there's work involved, from sanding and scraping to replacing the broken glass, but it'll be worth it in the end.

This one actually has most of the glass still left...the other only has one pane left.

Today we finally finished the majority of the exterior painting that we have to do, so now all that's left is to finish up the front porch and the window trim around the house.  We finished painting the siding on one side just in time for a huge thunderstorm....hopefully the paint dried in time!
