Garage Door

We were busy this summer so we didn't get a whole lot of house projects done but we did make one upgrade that really helps the curb appeal.  The garage door was old and the paint was peeling very badly.  Our first inclination (to save money) was to scrape the door and repaint it.  Well that experiment did not turn out so well.  After we started scraping the peeling paint we realized the door was just too far gone to fix.  So we purchased a new door and Kyle and my stepdad, Randy, put it up.  It took some time to install but the end result looks amazing!  Here are a few before and afters.

Couldn't find a true before, but here it is after the scraping experiment
and here is the simple and clean new door
And just for fun below is what the house looked like the day we moved in

Before

Current: no more huge tree, giant bushes, or peeling garage door
 We still have a ways to go.  We desperately need shutters and a new driveway but it's coming along.  And thanks to the drought and high temps are lawn is not so green, but that will come with some moisture.
