Handy house guests? Indeed!

Have they been earning their keep (see here if you don't know who I'm referring to)?  Definitely.  I know you are curious for more details.

First off, my dad installed a window in our back door.

So necessary. 

Especially in our small kitchen.

Especially with a black door.

Amazing what a bit of light can do.

The problem? Old homes have small doorways. Our backdoor is a mere 30in wide, requiring a special-order door. We were not to keen on the $225 price tag on the cheapest door available, so my parents (our handy house guests) came up with a brilliant plan! For only $20, they got a window. . .my dad cut a hole in the door and installed the window. . .I pulled some old black paint out of the basement and putting the finishing touches on!

Second, he replaced our entire circuit panel.
See difference from the before:

Yikes!

to the after:

Attractive and safe too!

He's also in the process of re-wiring a great deal of our house.

Hmmm, what else?
-fixed the girls' bathroom leaky faucet
-fixed the girls' bathroom toilet
-flipped around Ryan and I's closet door
-installed new house numbers on the front porch
-replaced some lights
-etc.


Gotta love the DIY projects:). And handy house guests:)
My dad is on the roof right now doing some gutter repair work.
We are so appreciative.
