This week we were excited to see our new garage doors installed on the barn.
They are a little browner than we expected, but we were told that they will fade a smidge (is that the same as a just noticeable difference or jnd? Not sure…), so we are happy with the color we chose.
From the inside, you can see that the middle garage door will go straight up, giving John lots of headroom in his work space.
They also (finally) cleaned up the garbage from in front of our house.
It’s nice to take a photo of the house exterior and not have a mound of trash in the image…
We’ve also been spending lots of time at the local paint store. We’ve decided on the house colors, but finding the right color stain has been more challenging.
As we left the store today, I told the employee who has made us quart after quart of stain that I guessed he was hoping to never see us again. He smiled and replied, “I didn’t say that. You didn’t hear me say that.” My response was, “not out loud.” But it is really important to get the stain right because (drumroll, please) the cabinets arrived and were partially installed this week! And there are a lot of them, so the stain needs to be right from the beginning. But more on that later.
In the meantime, thanks for stopping by!!
