rear door getting new weather stripping, threshold work, etc

Things are settling into winter mode here. Not a lot going on but trying to focus on projects that can't be done once real cold sets in. I started painting the interior of the side/basement entry/stairway but will wait for it to be closer to 70 again so the paint can dry with the doors open. It was 60 in the house this a.m. when I woke- the coolest it's been so far. Outside, I think it was down in the 40's over night. The neighbors tulip polar tree is all yellow-orange leaves now. My house plants are back indoors and yesterday, I think, was the first day I kept all the windows closed- as it didn't make it above 58 degrees. It's time to put the hose up I guess- and shut off the water to outdoor faucets...and come up with some curtains to close off my extra rooms and the door way to rear porch/entry. Winter.
