Home Improvement --Before and After

When we moved into our home 2 years ago, we knew that we didn't like the location of the back door. We couldn't afford to move the door without going into debt, so we put it on our schedule and saved our money.

We talked with several contractors. We chose one and started the project. The back door originally went out from our youngest daughter's room. We had the construction workers move it so that it would go out the back of the kitchen. They also added us a deck and restored the brick on the outside of the house. We decided that we would have them install a closet in our youngest daughter's bedroom, too. That way the room would be fully considered a fourth bedroom.

Before: the back door going out our daughter's room. 

Before: No closet

Before: Exterior picture of the back door. To the left is the kitchen window.

After: We painted, and added a closet to the bedroom. 

After: French doors and a new deck. (And no door to the
right.)

It took the construction workers about 5 days to complete this project. It took us about a month to do the part we were required to do (painting, installing the closet, etc.)
