The "Saga within the Saga" as a colleague of mine mentioned in a text over the weekend - referring to the long story of the front door is now nearing a final completion. There is just exterior painting to be done and that should be pretty straightforward (although I have had to eat those words before).
Interior painting finished up over the weekend. So much new light from these windows, really great.
The door is 11 feet from bottom to the top of the radius. Yeah, it is really tall. That small entry space has a two-step drop down to the small tiled area in front of the door, making the ceiling height 12 feet in this spot - and you feel it when walking into the house. This was a design trick put in place as a solution to the exterior steps previously having a very steep pitch to the sidewalk, and pulling two steps into the living area allowed the exterior stair pitch to be quite a bit lower and more comfortable to traverse (as well as safe... especially in winter with icy treads).
I have to stretch to peek over the bottom edge of the window. It locks in three separate points on the vertical frame, and two others at top and bottom.
