Exactly what I would have done too.

The dogs and I went on a stroll through the woods today and stumbled over a large red building. The freshly painted door made me smile - it's exactly what I would have done.

In my case, the line of reasoning would have been, "This project is much too big for me, I don't even know where to begin. I'm going to paint this door. It's something I can manage and it makes a statement. Shows that someone's working on it."

I hope whomever started with the door keeps going. :-)
