It's funny how we have home projects and want to do auto stuff first.
Ronnie- It's about priorities.. LOL FWIW: I did my 1st of the year yard edging & trimming. Nice out 70* & sunny.

The new frame now fits close to the door, the blinds are inside the glass panels
The wider glass makes a high difference, I forgot to take any before photos

I was concerned the door handle and deadbolt were gonna be in the way, they weren’t

Nice to let the light in but not direct sunlight, the glass is UV blocking tinted

We then drove to a big box home improvement store to pick up a vanity and marble sink for our new downstairs bathroom
Blue- That looks like about what I installed in our back door to the deck, the shades insides the glass is great as the sun sets on that side, cats love looking out at the birds too.
I didn't have to trim door tho, it came in a coupe different sizes & one I got was just right.

Looks great! Years ago we had to gut the bathroom due to water damage. We ended up buying kitchen cabinets...they were much cheaper. Kitchen cabinets sit higher and honestly I like it better

In all honesty...I seem to put off priorities. And it's probably gonna cost me. I need to turn in paperwork to two different insurance companies so I can be reimbursed some money. I'm gonna drag my feet and be too late if I don't be careful.

Rich, it had a smaller 20 x 64 inch window.

Today we went for a walk with Willow, then I had to pickup our new commode, from the big box store.

Thank you, and now to finally build the basement bathroom, we have the vanity and basin, the commode next the shower.
I’m on the fence between copper or pen for the supply lines, hmmm .
flames while soldering or possibly failed connections with the pex , I’m pondering.

I always do copper...

I do not like that pex stuff. It's like using garden hose in your house.

Plumbing is the absolute worst! I refuse to touch it again in my house.
