Untimely Repairs..

In the -let's get everything done before the baby- stage, Jason was beginning to repair some of our trim by our back sliding glass door it turned into a nightmare. He pulled off some of the trim to realize that our frame was rotting and had some mold. Which is horrible as it's a load bearing support for our 2nd level. I had a mini panic attack while he checked the other side. It wasn't as bad, but did have mold and needed to be replaced as well. What we have concluded is that when the house was built they did not put in proper flashing/sealing to keep the water from seeping in. It's only a 7 year old house! Shortcuts were definitely taken and at this point we hope they didn't take any others! Luckily I have an excellent Mr. Fixer for a husband! He did this...

Isn't my husband just the best ever! We could initially just pull out the sliding glass door and put it back in with the proper flashing/sealing, but the door already had a pane busted so we are going to replace it all together. We are having Lowe's install the french doors since we didn't want to take the chance of it not being done right again. I'm happy for the change in doors but not happy with the timing. We still have not had the door installed as it's not a quick process, but we received word today that they will have it installed on Wednesday! Fingers crossed it goes nice and smoothly! Hopefully I'll be able to get the house cleaned before the baby comes!
