Front door update

Just a quick update on the front door before we have family over for supper.  This is the gift I got for Peter this Christmas:
It's the interior part of a turn of the century doorbell.  Solid brass, made from an original wax mold. 


This is the outside of the doorbell.  It was the original doorbell for our home, and is made from copper.  The turn knob is a little bent, but it still works fine.  When rung it sounds like a bicycle bell!  We're so excited to have a doorbell, that we've hung a sign asking people to ring it.  It sure beats having people pound as loud as they can on our door!
