White Paper Packages Tied up with String

I had ordered a rug off of ebay last week and have been tracking its shipping status all week.  It was due to arrive today and when I got home from running some errands this morning, the status was marked as delivered.   I looked all around the front door for it, the porch, both sides of the

Showing the Back door the door.

Oh, the back door.  It's one of the older, more antiquated (ahem, ugly) features of the house.   We had wanted to replace it right away, but decided to wait until the big items were brought in and out (e.g., old oil tank) so that a new door wouldn't get dinged up.  The door is chipping and flimsy
