Trim, Finally

Over a decade ago some Barbarian kicked in our back door.

The brown area along the left side of the door is missing trim.

When it happened we had a carpenter come in and repair the jamb. And we ordered a new storm door since the old one was wood and fell apart during the break-in.

The storm door has been replaced twice in the past decade.

Then about 5 years ago I bought some trim for the long side of the door frame.

The door trim is leaning NEXT to the door.

The about a month ago I painted the trim (it had been primed white at the factory).

A few cut-outs were necessary to accomodate the locks.

And a few days ago Charlie installed the trim.

The trim has been fitted to the door and notched around the lock.

And I love it.

A small repair that took over a decade.

Do you put things off? Then grow accustomed to the disrepair?
