Doors Make the Home

I’m not suggesting that the doors we just installed on our log home are anything special, expensive, or eye candy. However I will say that when you’re building a home on your own and you finally get to the point that you’re installing a front door something happens on a psychological level – your house becomes a home.

A safe haven where you can lock your things or your self in. A retreat away from the world behind closed doors – literally.

Here’s a shot of the doors now on the front of the house. They truly are not much to look at and the staining is still not finished on the front of the house, but the doors are fully functioning double doors that I will one day paint. One day.

Finally a set of doors...

We picked these doors up from Dan’s Discount Windows and Doors in Kitchener. They had them in stock at a super price – I’m pretty sure we paid less than $500 for the complete unit. The doors pictured above are also the first thing we loaded off the horse trailer when we made it back with the windows and doors – and the item that slashed through my foot, causing 4 stitches.
