I was surfing the web to come up with ideas of home projects for me and my husband to do in the spring. I had already decided that we were going to replace all of the shrubs and trees, but knew that the front of the house needed something extra.

I came across a company that sold wrought iron gates and wrought iron doors, and a light bulb went off in my head. If we changed the landscaping and then put in new decorative gates and doors, it would give us the look that we were going for. I wanted to make sure that my husband was on board with this decision and he loved it. We chose a set of wrought iron gates and wrought iron doors that matched and ordered them, so that they would get here in plenty of time before the snow started to melt.

I wanted to put them up as soon as they were delivered, but a big snowstorm hit our portion of the country and the temperatures were below freezing for the next ten days. The new wrought iron gates and wrought iron doors would have to wait to be installed until the weather cooperated.
