New Door

Last week we had a lot of rain when tropical storm Isaisis blew through. Our back door already had some rotting wood on the threshold but with all the rain, even the bottom of the door started rusting out and falling apart.

We got a good recommendation for someone in our neighborhood that could help us install an new one. So we picked up a new door and on Monday, our neighbor came over to install it. He said these jobs can be anywhere from 1.5 to 8 hours - just depends.

 
Unfortunately, the more he started digging in, the more rot he found. He ended up having to tear out some of the flooring in the entryway to make sure he got all the rotting wood out.

 

Our poor neighbor, Gary, was slaving away in the 90 degree heat all day long. He worked from 9 am to 7:30 pm and still wasn't finished.

 

This morning he came over to finish getting the inside molding back on. All we have left is to pick some flooring for the entryway.

 

Sadly our current flooring isn't sold anymore and we aren't in a position to be re-flooring our entire kitchen so we are going to have an odd area of a third type of floor. We got a few samples shown in the picture above but we're having a hard time coming up with anything that will look decent. 

Aunt Janet and Grammy - I need you to weigh in! I already asked Mom and Katie for opinions too.
