Finally

Finally, only 6 months after picking them up from Home Depot, the new solid-core, interior doors have been painted and installed. The doors were approx $50 each on sale. We were looking forward to doing the labor ourselves to make the improvement an even better deal, but after Will and I tried to hang the first one, we ended up hiring out for both the painting and the hanging. I was second guessing hiring out the whole time. Did we really need to hire out for a few hinges and paint strokes? Well, let’s just say that we found out that the one door Will and I tried to hang was hung upside down… Frustration.

To our surprise the job took a few days to complete vs the afternoon we were quoted, which made the cost worth it considering it could have been us working that long. Apparenlty the old hinges on the jam were not budging. They really did quality well back in the 50s.

Love the sound of a solid door slamming. Also love that our bathroom looks completely, complete. Our yellow-ish doors were holding us back in rental land.

Door nobs were purchased at Home Depot as well. At $20/knob, we were very happy. No need to pay top dollar for knobs. Glad this job is behind us and now onto painting the hallway!
