Board and Batten in the Back Entry

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The back entry from the garage has been a sore spot for me for the last year.  The kids' back packs always ended up here.  That's fine but they were always hanging on the closet door knobs.  I knew at some point I would have to do something about it.  The door knobs would only take so much.  I told my husband about my plan and he was on board.</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
