It totally was.
It won't fit our house, though--it's much too tall. But it WILL pay for our other new front door, after we fix it up and sell it. :)
And our other, side-of-the-road find (and somewhat anticlimactic, now) was this. A little bent, but perfectly fixable:

Great find on that door! A little TLC on the table and it will be good as new!
Great score!
The table has one bent leg, but shouldn't be any problem to fix. We're thinking we can find a wood top for it, or make one, if we can't find a glass one. It had a wood top that totally fell to pieces when we picked it up off the side of the road. As we were putting it in the trunk, the lady came out of her house, so we asked to confirm it was indeed trash and could we have it.
The door was next to a driveway but not on the street. We turned around, pulled into the driveway, and Brandon got out to knock on doors and see which house it belonged to and could we have it ;) An old guy was in the back yard and said the guy who owned the house had run to HD for more supplies, and--after a moment's hesitation--said we could take the door. We hurried home to get the truck and load it up. When we got back, he said, "Hurry and get on out of here before I change my mind!" We did.
Wow! Great find! And good for you for keepign it out of the landfill!!!!
We will call you eagle-eye Nolan! Zooming by in a car, with it turned the other way and laying down, I am not sure I would have recognized it as a craftsman style door.
I am laughing thinking of you guys screeching out of that guy's driveway with your little treasure ;)
It was pretty close to your neighborhood, too ;) Just off East Point St. Brandon is the one that spotted it, of course.
OK.So......What size is it???
