My Buddy Craig

I love Craig's List. I sell everything I don't need on it and I buy great stuff for cheap. True there are somethings you need to buy new, like underwear, but a new front door? I bought this door from a really nice guy who had bought a new door and then 5 years later decided to demo the house and start over. He salvaged a few things and the door was one of them. It's fir and has a natural finish. I love it, it fits my house so much better, and now I don't have to worry about strippping my old door to wood and Owen eating the stripper stuff. Yahoo! It's not my dream door, but I'm very happy with it, and the fact that it was 1/5 the cost of a brand new door.

Lucky for me I have a handy husband who swapped out the doors while I was at the gym one morning. May I also add he dressed and fed the boys? I'm a lucky girl.
