Pictures

First, some pictures of the replacement of the back door project.

The back room blocked off to keep the rest of the house warmer.

Work in progress

the end of day 1.

End of day 2 – door with window and storm door.

Beautiful window lets more light in.

Just by way of explanation – We had found a door without a frame, which had a plain, boring window and we’d also found a window for a door, that we got for free. But then, we had to buy a whole new, cheap door to get the needed door frame. At the end of day 1, we just had finished putting that frame and door in. On the second day, Dad traded that door with the one we’d bought and replaced the window in. Make sense?

And now for some Christmas decorating pictures:

And, finally, we couldn’t keep Pippi from jumping over the baby gate, so we put in something  a bit higher, and easier for us to navigate, as well.
