I still kick myself every time I wish I had taken more “before” photo’s of our home. I have a bazillion “progress” pictures, but if I would have just pulled the camera out a few times during the first 2 years in our home. I’ll just have to change everything again…
We had this hole at the bottom of the original front doors, big enough for the mice to join us over the winter and keep themselves warm and their bellies full. I remember saving for the new front door, it was a big purchase for us. Diesel had jumped through the screen doors several months back when the neighbor lady showed up with treats in her pocket. Diesel always knows she’s the holder of the good stuff. Shortly there after I took down the screen doors and our entrance actually looked much more inviting, I just didn’t care for the extra critters.

If you look REALLY hard you can see our old front doors through the big bushes.
If someone really wanted in they would simply need to lean against these bad boys and in they would go.
A inside view. Dark, fuzzy photo, I know. You can see where I re-purposed the doors HERE.
So I was pretty pumped when these bad boys arrived. They shut, locked, there was no longer a draft and my little mice friends could no longer sneak in. What I didn’t expect was the daylight that streamed through these into our front entryway, nice surprise.
Any big changed in your house lately, any small critters sneaking in your front door?
