Home Improvements

Okay so long story short - when we moved into the house, we noticed 2 holes by the sliding glass door that we didnt notice the couple of times we initially looked at the house. I cant recall if they were covered up by something or I just failed to see them BUT they have been stressing me out! Mainly because I knew that they were there and every time I would walk in the door I would pretty much step in a hole. SO AGGRAVATING! Also - after we moved in - we noticed that the sliding glass door didn't shut all the way. This only became an annoyance when the weather started changing and bugs were crawling in the opening at the top of the door or you'd feel a draft. Definitely not good for our electricity bill. So here are the pictures from todays Home Improvement! We have a connection at the local Lowes so we got the door half off (yay! HUGE STEAL!) and the new flooring will be put in within the next 2 or 3 weeks. (which we bought for WAY more than half off).

Frame to the old doors are out!

 One hole.. A lot worse than we thought.

Second hole - The beams ended up being rotted too.

 Yes, that is a diaper under the flooring. Who KNOWS how long THAT has been there. SICK.

 Putting in the new wood.

 Holes all taken care of!

So YAY for that! Next is either the kitchen floor being replaced or the porch. Both will be done before Little Brison gets here. The porch will be done by Brendt and his step dad - Metal frame and cover, wood walking area. (Brendts step dad owes his own welding business which means the metal is free! yipee!) After those two things we are pretty much done and pacified with for a bit. Yes, I know - When you buy a house, you are NEVER done. I will be posting more tomorrow - Including a 7 MONTH PICTURE! 

Love you all and God Bless!!
