Boathouse Door Replacement
The long promised replacement of the boathouse sliding door occurred this weekend.  Having a professional remodeler with a truck full of pro-grade tools made the work go smoothly.  Thanks Rich, Sue, and JP for your efforts on this!  Now we need to have a contest to come up with the best way to decorate the new door.  Seems like no one liked my idea of a can of white spray paint  :) 
 
Photos of the process:
 
The Old Door, which has been there at least since 1992, and weathered at least two good hurricanes.  That's crystalized saltwater laying between the bottom of the door glass.olddoor.jpg

Trying to figure out what goes and what stays....

In true P7 Pirate fashion, the work crew went to cool off with a viewing of
The Pirates of the Carribean:  Dead Mans Chest!
