Santa Comes In August

I mean that literally-- Santa came to my house yesterday.  And he installed our new sliding screen doors in the dining room.  

No, really, he did.

Andy from Oregon Screen Crafts is a retired high-school shop teacher who makes awesome screen doors (and other screen things, of course).  He is also our local part-time Santa Claus, because we live in the kind of town where Santa also makes custom screen doors.  

Our quoted price was a very reasonable $337, including installation, for the pair of doors.  But one of the screens was slightly dinged in transit, so Andy offered to either a) make us a new door, or b) give us a $30 discount on the as-is door.  And when we inspected the screen and could baaaaaaaaaaaarely see the ding, we opted for the latter.  So really, Santa came and installed our screens and gave us a $30 discount.  I love Christmas!

 

In other news, the apple tree you see through my pretty new screens is out. of. control.
