HOC: Breezeway

The weather is turning cold and I’ve finally gotten the breezeway into good condition.  I have, in the past five months:

  1. stripped and refinished the windows
  2. replaced the back storm door
  3. painted the ugly gray paneling to a blue (extra paint I had from Mia’s bedroom project)
  4. painted the molding and ceiling
  5. replaced the front storm door
  6. installed a new, push-button lock on the entry door.
  7. installed a new lampshade and painted the old light fixture

That’s a lot!  Yay!

HOC: Breezeway – Simplex Pushbutton Lock

We installed a new Simplex push-button lock onto the entry door from the breezeway.  Nice.  That way we don’t need to hustle with a key to get in.  Just know the uber-secret pass-code and clicky-click you’re in!

This is what we ordered (but in nickle):

Simplex 7000
