One Midwestern behavior I'm still adapting to is people removing their shoes before they come into your house, even on days that are dry. After someone nearly toppled, we decided to provide a bench right by the front door. (It's also handy for leaving a snack basket when I'm expecting a package--instead of leaving it by the garage, drivers who know the house bring it to the door.)
Mr. Maryn was able to build the bench modifying plans he already had. Paint was my job. I was pleased with the match to the house's siding--real close but not perfect--and unhappy with the stencil, which I did over and over until I came to accept that it was never going to have sharp lines like I imagined.
