Isn't that just the way????

I've heard that this happens, but I didn't really "get it", until now.  What you may ask...the fact that everything I have had done on the house this summer has been fabulous, but (and that's a BIG BUT) now everything else looks like it is in need of repair or updating.  Yep, I had heard that this would happen.

One of the contractors suggested doing some of the inside work for me on the side, after his regular hours and on weekends.  I'm super fine with this, so our current project is my interior doors. I now have this...

Below you see my contractor(door wrangler)and his helper.  These guys have been so precise in their workmanship that I am astounded.  I don't know why I'm surprised, everything done thus far has been so close to perfect it's almost unbelievable...

Using each door that they remove as a guide for the replacement, Tim and Willie marked and cut the new door to the proper length, marked and drilled the hole for the knob and marked and chiseled out the areas for the hinges. That's a lot of marking but they weren't taking any chances with these doors. They then hang the new door and do some kind of mystical mojo dance that requires one to be on the inside of the room and the other on the outside, as they opened and closed it while quietly listening and looking at the ceiling.  After this dance, the door is removed and taken back out to the driveway for tweaking (thank heaven they weren't twerking, but I digress).  After this tweaking they rehang the door and then begin the tweaking process on the door frame itself.  This required taking a block of wood and using it to hammer the door frame into the proper position.  This was not a difficult job for them, but oh, so time consuming. It was very interesting to watch.

I think I'm having driveway work done tomorrow and perhaps work on the porch, but as I just told Peri, I really wasn't listening to them when they were telling me.  Sometimes what I hear sounds very much like the adults on those Peanuts cartoon..."mwah, mwah, mwah mwah mwah, mwah".  I really do need to stop tuning things out.  I may have missed something important...yada, yada, right, right.

Anyway, something will happen tomorrow and I eventually will blog about it.  It's what I do, it's how I roll.
Peace out, y'all. Talk soon.
