East side door

Here's a great picture of the east-side door. I like it because you can see the view from the east side of the house in the window reflection better than if you take an actual picture of the view. It adds a little tone of blue to the red of the door and the warm yellow of the hemlock siding. It gives a good idea of the different elements of the door: the white trim, the red door, and if you look carefully, the ash threshold. Behind the windows, you can see a little bit of the scafolding that Lisa will be using to urethane the upper window interiors. The green borders around the window interiors are is tape that protects the windows from the urethane.

I like the detail in the second picture because it shows how the knots of the pine doors still come through the red stain. That wouldn't happen as readily with paint.

Lisa just accused me of navel-gazing for my heartfelt, earnest appreciation of these photos. Hmph!
