So today we started one of the harder parts of the big remodel. We are taking out the sliding glass door and putting a single door in instead. I know it's the middle of the winter and opening up the house seems like a crazy thing to do but the weather turned out very nice today.
We did run into a bit of problem with this job. It turns out that the opening for a sliding glass door is lower than one the one needed for a single door. So we had to cut out 2 inches out of the header and that took a couple of hours. If you have ever built or remodeled you know that things take longer than you had hoped for but it's not a surprise.
So we started about 9:30 in the morning and by about 4:30 P.M. we had the wall rebuilt and the door in place. Actually the door is just being held in place by 1 nail because it needs a lot of adjustments and we were just too tired to finishe it tonight. It actually lookes fabulous! I am pleased with how it is turning out.
Here is a look from the inside of the house. (needs a bit of sheet rock :) )
