The back of the house, before. The doors look like they may have been fine with some Rustoleum paint, but that wouldn't have been enough. The bottom of the garage door was rust lace, much like an old car driven on salty roads up North. The door on the right had broken grids for the window. It is only 30 inches wide, so not a standard width and required a special order door to replace it.
The French doors going into the dining room had those great blinds in the glass and I really wanted to keep them, but the casing had swollen and it took a crow-bar to shut the door. Not to mention this water/termite/carpenter ant/Virginia Creeper damaged corner of the door frame. (And this is with most of the Virginia Creeper removed)
The door between the dining room and the garage was not only an interior door without insulation, but it also showed evidence of an impatient dog!
We had our neighbor (and the man who put on our new roof and built our new bridge--Randy) install new doors where needed, except for the garage door. He said those were too aggravating, so Charlie & Lisa installed that!
The sliding glass door with the wood trim primed and caulked (still needs paint)
The door going from the dining room to the garage. Trim is still needed for the bead board, around the sliding glass door, and baseboards in this photo.
