Our front door was incredibly inefficient. It was a gorgeous wood door with fun detail but it had warped over the years and had cracks. Our entry way was a frigid cold draft every winter. So, while the rest of the house was a mess, we decided it was as good a time as any to knock out the front entry.

New:
It's not quite 100% finished yet. He's coming back Wednesday to (hopefully) finish. This is taking longer than anticipated for the following reasons:
1. The [insert your own description here] people who worked on the door/stairs last did not put ANY structure under the doorway. It was a giant hole full of expanding foam.
2. Because there was no suportive structure beneath the door, the framing couldn't hold the windows and some of them slid through the floor, leaving a lovely half inch gap at the top of the window which was a hole to the outside world.
The door guy has been amazing and he has taken the time to do a top notch job. Our front room is much warmer now!
