Ghetto no more

We started our refurbishing of the front of the house project. Actually, we are more than started. We have ordered the two windows that will replace the old aluminum single glass windows with the new up-to-date, fancy-schmancy, energy efficient product of the ages. We have also ordered the Security Front Door, not to be confused with a Storm Door, which is the beat the glass with a bat and can't break it door that is higher priced. We have the paint to apply to the entire front railings and trims that will make the entire front entrance less 'ghetto' as Jay called the entire area.

This project was his idea. I didn't realize with all the improvements we have done to the house that the front was looking like a house from the 'ghetto', but obviously I wasn't paying attention. The area was in need of a good paint job. Those two front windows are the last on the bottom floor of the house that we haven't replaced. (We still need to replace all the upstairs windows, but let's leave them ghetto for a few more months - after this project is finished would be good timing). I guess I like the idea of replacing the flimsy iron second door on the front with the fancy-schmancy and pricey security door which will be more intimidating. When it's all done, it will be a big improvement.

We are waiting now for the windows and doors to come in and be installed. I think that means I need to get to sanding down the railings and trim. There is paint that needs to be applied. Like I said, it's Jay's project. I'm just not sure how much sanding and painting he will actually do, but it will look so much better than ghetto when it's all done.

It better.
