Shut the Front, I Mean, Shed Door!

That's right, our shed officially has a door!  That means we can start storing stuff in there and begin to clear out the garage.  This makes Adam very happy, especially since his car has been the one booted to the driveway until there is more room in the garage.  

Adam built these double doors from scratch and I love how they turned out!  He had the brilliant idea to paint the doors the same color as the front door of our house.  I think it's a charming nod to our house and helps tie the two structures together. 

Adam went with black for the hinges and door handles, which is a nice contrast.  He also included a bolt at the bottom, which keeps the doors shut nice and tight.  No animals or weather is getting past these doors!  There's also a place for a lock to keep any people from trying to get in.  We're not overly worried about someone trying to break in, but we can rest assured we made it more difficult for someone to do so.  

The main structure of the shed is complete.  All the windows and doors have been installed.  All that's left to do is add a few pieces of trim, add the final shutters and window boxes to the windows and put on the final painting touches.  We are going to save the painting for spring when the temps are warmer.  We've also talked about investing in a paint sprayer which will make painting the lattice at the bottom go much quicker.  

We already have some items stored in the shed, but plan to fully organize it in the spring, as well.  I'll be sure to share our organizing tips once we figure them out.  

I am so proud of Adam's hard work!  For the rest of winter, Adam is going to work on some indoor projects. Now that I've seen his full scope of work, I plan to keep him very busy with other projects!
