Basement addendum: how we love the door

Woah! I just found this blog post waiting to be finished. This follows on our two posts about re-doing our basement over the summer. We just loved the door we installed in the west wall, so we had to show it's progression. Up top: the wall as it existed. Big gaping holes into the crawl space, left from previous owners' renovation of the kitchen.

Using a $6 bag of mortar and bricks we found in the basement and garage, Beth bricked the wall.

Then, using lumber we found around the house, we built a frame, anchored it, and built a door. Used spray foam to fill in small gaps.

Painted and finished door!
