It's the Beginning ;)

Today.. the work on the Oleo Ranch (one of the cheaper spreads) begins...

the new front door is to be installed today!!! 

I can hardly wait to see it finished.

The door had to be gel stained and then sealed before it could be installed. 

I have not seen it since the first coat of stain.

It was beautiful then and I am sure it will be more beautiful now. 

Just putting in the front door will make a huge difference in the old farm house. 

But it will really pop when the new siding and trim gets on!!!

I am so excited.. yes I will try and take photos as the work progresses!

I was sort of pleased with myself ... my dad's friend De-way a long time friend.  

I do mean a long time friend... over 50 years.

Has a handy man that is doing the work for me. 

Inc has been De-way's handyman for years and he recommended him to me.

I am so excited to find a handyman that can help me out around here for a reasonable wage.

We have several projects line up for him to work on over the next year ;)

De-way called Daddy O and chatted with him a few days ago. 

He told Daddy O he had seen my door, and said how nice and pretty it is.

I have not gotten excited about the whole thing until I woke up today... the new begins!

I picked out a very expensive door with a Stain Glass Panel... It really is pretty .. you will see soon :)

I chose to put an expensive door in the house because the old one is not level and has a huge gap in it.. 

I know that is where a lot of my AC and heating goes. 

The Daddy O was very excited for me! That I am getting the improvements.

Improvements are always good ;)
