Curb Appeal

I've got the perennials blooming, and the annuals planted; the lawn got aerated and spring has officially been kicked off by the first camping trip of May long.

Finally some spring!

Along with the sun comes all the projects that didn't get finished last summer. Like after our door got installed, we had a black void beside the door where a sidelite had been. That black void had to go. Today.

Good bye, black void.

I pulled out most of the tools I know how to use: mainly using the cut-to-length option that comes with the purchase of wood at your local hardware store. I did, however, save them the trauma of every single cut I was needing for my door shutter.
 I actually did most of it myself.

Honest!

The angled cut was tricky, and I had saved the really nice piece of wood for that one, so I held my breath when I let Adam chop that one. Turned out pretty good! 

All in all, it was a simple project that just needed to get done. 

We had talked about putting rock around the entrance, which would have looked beautiful, but that option would have had to wait. I needed a project today, and that was what got attacked. Sometimes, it's the little things that just finish it all off perfectly.

Happy DIY-ing!
