THE NEIGHBORS HAVE A NEW DOOR!
I came home last night, and to give you some perspective, this is what my door looks like:
Attractive shade of ew-I-ate-too-many-mints-and-barfed-green. Clean trim, lovely door ornament (a gift from a friend of mine almost fifteen years ago, and I've hung it in every house I've had since then). No door knob (but that's another story). You get the point.
When I got home, this is what I saw:
Note the brown edges where trim has been removed. Note the lack of clangy-ass doornament (I just made that word up). I'm seeing progress being made here!
Then, this morning when I left for work, I saw this:
(Of course, when I saw it, there were two large-ish men flanking it -- one was my landlord and one was a guy in coveralls who reminded me of my father. But only because of the coveralls, because otherwise he looked NOTHING like my dad. I really wanted to take a picture of them for you to enjoy, but thought they might find it weird. Which it certainly would have been.)
I knew then that good things were afoot on the third floor at 329.
And when I came home tonight, what did I see???
OH MY GOD, A WHOLE NEW DOOR!
(Notice the lack of doorknob there, as well. I'm not entirely sure how they're supposed to get in and out of their new door, but as long as they do it quietly, I don't fucking care!!!)
And, to cap things off nicely, this was the view from my window:
It almost feels like a funeral scene, doesn't it? I think I might be broken up if that were my door out there, but since it's not, I'M HAVING A CELEBRATORY PARTY!
Farewell, sweet, sweet bangy door. I shed no tears for thee!
