Home Improvement is Expensive!

Why is Lowes always so expensive? (We use a Lowes business card that saves us 5%, but it sure doesn't seem like a discount when it's only 5%) Here is our latest adventure: I'm determined to keep working on our existing projects so we can finish all the things we started. We bought security doors for the front and side doors and painted them. We were planning on painting them with Rustoleum to make them last longer and I noticed one door said "bad paint" on the box. I asked the guy if we could get a discount on a "damaged" door and he said yes. So we chose 2 "damaged" doors. Saved us money and we were planning on painting anyways ;)

Doug spraying our front door green:Finished product:This door didn't change colors too much; it was off white when we bought it and we sprayed it with off white paint:

We paid for installation and when the guy came out on Thursday to put the door up he said we have to remove the foam stucco around the house and build a wood frame. Bummer!!! So, that's been added to our projects. We also bought paint for both bedrooms to finish up those projects too.
