Real House Keys!!

We spent a couple days this week getting the three exterior doors into the house so that the outside of the house can be stuccoed and the inside can begin drywall. We have 4 total exterior doors but the french doors to the backyard were installed by the pros. The front door, utility room door and the door to the backyard from the master bathroom were our job. The utility room door went in first.

The Utility room door has those handy blinds between the two panes of glass. Cookie is so jealous! If you look closely, out the window you can see our be-a-utiful falling down fence that is currently being propped up by 4 x 4's. (gotta get through most of the inside of the house before we can get to building a new fence).

The new front door went in next. It has hurricane proof leaded glass in it making it SUPER HEAVY.

We installed a pin pad deadbolt. So you can use your key or if I'm out running and don't want to carry my keys I can just use the code. I would tell you code but of course then i would have to kill you.

A few days later the master bathroom door went in. This door is inside the shower in the master bathroom and looks out on the backyard. We had to remove the window in the bathroom because it ended up directly over the vanity so the door is there for light. Also, if you are swimming in the canal or lounging in the hot tub you don't have to go all the way thru the house when your wet. It will make more sense when the backyard is landscaped and we build an enclosure so Dave and his wife across the canal can't see into the shower. Perhaps eventually it will become and indoor/outdoor shower. We shall see.

 

So now we have real keys to the house!!
