Handyman Husband

Our den downstairs never had a door on it, it was just an opening. I had hung some curtains to separate it from the rest of the house, but curtains are not soundproof and Brooklyn likes to jabber which interupts Kurt when he's working. I forgot to take a "before" picture so this will have to do... you can sort of see the curtain on the right.

And here is the opening (pardon the mess, it's a construction zone).

Kurt decided rather than pay someone an arm and a leg, he would take on the project himself. So he ordered this custom door frame.

And went to work installing.

Had a few little hiccups along the way (like dropping the door and taking a couple chunks out of the door and the drywall at the bottom of the stairs)

But he's a good fixer upper and patched the drywall... You can hardly tell he messed it up in the first place.

Even I helped out a bit by painting when it was hung.

Voila! Finished product:

It actually looks like it belongs in the house! He did a FANTASTIC job!!! And boy does it help keep out the noise.

Kurt amazes me with all his handy work around the house. Who would have known a computer geek could have so many other tricks up his sleeve? :) I think I'll keep him around! You never know what may need fixed next :)
