… or ever, it seems.
Painter got first coat on the front door. It’s a Ralph Lauren color, which HD doesn’t carry anymore, so I had to have it color-matched. Not sure they got it exactly. Maybe it will work better with the final coat. Right now it looks like something out of The Greeks. I keep expecting Clytemnestra to come sweeping out covered in blood.

Bought new loppers yesterday and headed out to the side yard with them to do a little trimming at the shrub border with the house next door. Neighbor Matt got envious of all the fun I was having and went to fetch his trimmers and saw. Two hours later we had this.

Love that door! Is it reclaimed or new?
New.
I like the door too, from what I can tell about the color on screen. Maybe not a bad idea to have it look like Clytemnestra might come sweeping out covered in blood. Not great welcoming feng shui I guess, but might send a message to possible intruders. Don’t mess with this, the House of Atreus.
good point. I had not thought of it from a tragedy-as-crime-deterrent perspective.
