A Good Door Demands Respect

Royce got up bright and early to start on the tree house door. By the time I finished cooking breakfast and we ate, he was back at it and had it over half completed.

He must have carried this door back and forth 10 times making sure it fit just right. Cutting a little off the edges, seeing if it fit better, then cutting just a bit more.

Finally he got it like he wanted it and we had to decide whether or not we wanted the round stained glass window in it or not. The problem was I had bought a the stained glass before I found this really neat green man door knocker. The door knocker was not your average size door knocker, it was huge. We wanted a bold rough looking old castle door and the stained glass would take away from the bold look.

So we asked Nadine & Greg what they thought when they came over this afternoon. We all agreed that the stained glass and the door knocker would be a bit much. So after more debate, looking at the stained glass on the door, then the door knocker. . . .

We decided on the door knocker. We thought the green man gives the door a more bold look.

What do you think?

I'll just have to find another place to put the round stained glass.

We didn't get it entirely finished today. But there is only just a little more to do.
