Homemade Barn Door

We've purchased a 15 acre farm complete with 2 barns and a 1958 brick ranch, and are currently in the process of renovating the entire property. It is a lot of fun, but a lot of work. There have been times where I've thought to myself, "I'd rather watch an entire season of Grey's Anatomy on repeat, than pull up another layer of flooring." For the most part though, it's been a great experience. It also helps that I have such a hands on fiance. Although it pains me to say this; he's a better DIY'er than myself. His latest project has been fixing up the barns. He fixed layers of rust, removed this colossal grapevine, and built a new barn door. As excited as I am about all these improvements, I'm still waiting on a working toilet. ;) See below the dent he's already made in our backyard.


Before
(See what I mean about that grapevine? Out. Of. Control.)

(Still rusty, but grapevine has tamed down a bit.)

After
(New barn door, no rust, and pretty little grapevine. :))
