We moved into our home almost 9 years ago. The people who lived here before us had the last name "Lee". It was on their door. And then, it was on ours. Now, nearly nine years later, our door is finally our own.
Some "before"s and "after"s...
The "Lee" knocker was not the only problem with the old door. It appeared to have been kicked in at least once before, resulting in some damage to the door jam that made it hard to close the door. And the seal had worn so bad that you could see daylight through it, making it very drafty in the winter.
We had wanted to replace it as soon as we moved in, but it was just always "on the list" of things we wanted to fix up, and was never the most important. Just prior to Christmas, we asked a friend who is in the construction business and was out of work if he would install it for us. We got a new, non-Lee, non-kicked in, non-drafty door that closes nice and soft and has pretty door knobs. He got a few bucks to help with Christmas. Win-win. :)
