Fresh Air

A couple weeks ago my parents came to visit us and we had a blast! Of course, they ended up helping us with many projects! Mom was willing to get on her hands and knees and do my weekly cleaning – what a treat! Dad helped Mike with the installation of our new bedroom slider door. He also put in window trim around the inside of our front windows. It looks classy now.

The door did not take Mike and Dad too long to complete and as a reward they later went golfing. To install a door you need patience and you need to follow a few simple steps.

Step 1: Take out original slider door. To get the original frame out was tough and took the longest amount of time. They used pry bars, hammers, and their hands to yank it out.

Step 2: Put new door in place to make sure it fits and is level.

Step 3: Use the caulking gun all around the door frame.

Thanks Dad for helping us install the door! We love having a slider and screen door that work and I especially love that the room can cool off at night now. Ah, fresh air!
