Doors for the basement

It is time to put doors in the basement.  We had a pro from HomeDepot come out and measure so we would know what to buy.  If we bought them through the pro, it would have doubled the price of the doors because they would have installed them.  We installed one of the doors and didn't think it was too bad, so we decided to use their measurements and buy/install the doors ourselves.  

The old guy at HomeDepot convinced us to save $75 and haul the doors home ourselves in our van.  That may not have been the best decision.  We bought 12 doors and were able to get 6 of them in the back of our van at once.  So it probably didn't save us any money between our time and the cost of gas.  Oh well.  It was kind of fun to watch the faces of people as they went in HomeDepot and we were loading the doors in our van.  They doubted that we would be able to get the doors in the van and would look at us like we were crazy.  But, they were always shocked when they would leave HomeDepot and we would have the doors loaded and the back of the van closed! 

Now we will have to install them.

This is a door before painting and hanging.
