As you can see he took out the entire door, plus the frame. This guy was meticulous.What impressed us was that he came on time. He brought everything he needed, including a broom and a garbage bag, a shop vac, millions of tools, his ladder a generator.
Wheelie was drooling over all the toys this guy had.
Apparently when they put the door in initially, they never caulked or sealed underneath the threshold. It was just sitting right on the slab of cement, creating slots for the water to stand and come in, and also creating spaces everywhere on the sides, going up the walls.
But this guy corrected the entire deal and told us that we would never see a drop of water in the living room again.
He even painted the new posts, inside and out and touched up the paint on the living room walls.
I had the bright idea to call Bugs the night before and ask her to provide a babysitter, because I could not see myself trying to contain a toddler with all that going on. Besides, it was 26 degrees, and it was COLD.
So PH offered to take her until everything was done, which was around 1PM. Perfect! Nap time!
She slept until 5 and after that it was a cinch. I didn't put her to bed until 9, but ten minutes after that mommy came and picked her up.
All in all a very satisfying day with nice results.
It will be a "late" day today for us today, so that gives Wheelie and myself some free time.
Tomorrow, PH is going to keep Boo the entire day, so I can have my birthday off.
Don't know what I'm gonna do, but...hahaha...it's not like we're going to have droves of guests knocking at the door bearing gifts wanting cake and ice cream...
Ah well, there will be the phone calls from overseas, always very welcome...
And Bugs is cooking dinner, not a bad deal either...
SGMKJ!
