Originally, Maywood had 2 doors on the front of the house, which made it confusing for guests to know which door to enter. There was a standard door into the kitchen, and then a sliding door into the living room. Neither of us liked the idea of entering into the kitchen, and with the new layout for the kitchen remodel it wasn't going to work anyway. So, we said goodbye to the kitchen door, and have replaced the sliding door with a new standard front door. Of course, nothing can be done in this house without some kind of a hiccup. The new door had panes in the glass that rattled every time the door was shut. It made the door sound too cheap. After talking with the door company, we were able to get it replaced with a door with panes on the outside of the glass. Wahoo! It looks much better, and is much more inviting! It will look even better once the deck railing is rebuilt, the house doesn't have building equipment leaning against it, the trim is around the new door, and when the siding is replaced where the old door is. =) All in time...
