Etc., etc., etc. ...

Well, it's looking like the contractor is never coming back. He certainly isn't ever going to return phone calls again! Grrrrrr! So, more than a month after they finished the siding, we're still waiting for the new porch posts and railing to be installed. In the meantime we've ordered and received the new storm door. <----- Looks like this except it's bronze-colored to match the window/door trim.

Really a cool door, as doors go. The screen part retracts and is hidden inside the door frame when not in use. Kinda like a window shade. Very convenient.

Lew is busily installing it as I type and the timing is perfect. Fall is starting to settle in so we're beginning to get those chilly days and nights. The front door was looking a little naked and needed its protective friend.
