Starting with Doors for Safety

One thing about our new house that I both love and drives me crazy, are the doors in my house.  Now don’t get me wrong, I have very nice wooden doors throughout our house, but there are just so many!  I mean to the outside of our house there are five doors.  We have two sliding doors in our family room, which I don’t understand why they did, other than since the owners were home builders I figure they had an extra sliding door laying around.  We also have a master bedroom on the main level with a Sliding Door which is actually my boys playroom.

The next door we have is going out to the garage which also has it’s own door to outside.  Oh and I do have a door in the garage which is an extra entrance to get in and out of the basement.  I am though thinking of switching the Door Hinge because I don’t like the way it swings into the garage instead of into the basement.

Finally, we of course have our front door, which I love because it is so nice and ornate.  I am used too a slab of wood with no window and lucky that it locks!  We did put a screen door up though because I noticed our beautiful door is slightly splitting.  Oh and we added new door handle because we were going to change the lock anyways and I wanted a bronze instead of gold.

So I know I am rambling on about doors, and it is pretty boring and strange, but I was just sitting here in my family room looking at our patio doors and thinking.  Then there have been a few home invasions on the news lately where people have been killed, so I started thinking of safety and making sure we are safe inside.  I figure the best way to keep my family safe is starting with the doors in our house.
