Home makeover

We've been very busy over the last couple of years giving the house a "makeover" and now we're nearly finished. We still have a few details to take care of but all the major projects are through. Yay! We completely tore out all the groundcover and holly bushes and redid the yard, leveled out the back and laid sod. There are new flower beds with new brick work and the sprinkler system. All the plants are in and look great (and survive thanks to the sprinkler system). We had the outside of the house painted and last weekend Mike finished the front door.
The front door was quite a project and I'm really proud of Mike. He had to take it down, sand off all the old pain (which took most of the morning) and then stain it. It took three coats of stain because the wood was so dry that it just sucked up the first coat. He got all that done Saturday and was able to put the urethane coats on Sunday in time for it to dry and get hung back up. So we were only doorless for two days. And the door looks great! So unless Mike gets the wild idea again about finishing the kitchen cabinetry - I think all our big projects are done. We still have small projects to do. We need to replace the cushion stuff that blocks air leaks in the doorways (I have no idea what it's called). And with the house settling and moving after we had the foundation repairs there are some cracks now around the windows that we need to fill and seal. But given that I don't think you're ever truly "done" working on a house and there always seems to be something the do, I think this is the closest we're going to get with our house to being done. I think we're going to just sit around for a while and be proud of ourselves (and nap).
I haven't gotten pictures of the door yet (or the outside bench that Mike refinished). I'll take some later and post them.
