Door upgrade!

Door upgrade!

Look at that sweet boy showing off his accessible door! 😊❤️

We got it huge on purpose because you never know who I'm gonna move in. 😂😂😂

We tried those door inserts like you can get from Lowe's and Home Depot that just sit in the door frame with a pet flap at the bottom. We returned it after about 2 days. Shaun could barely fit through the door sideways with the insert in there. Forget taking out the trash or anything with almost half of the open space used like that. It just wasn't pleasant and made life harder. Since Bear is a family member now, we thought that a more permanent solution was in order.

Having the custom glass made was more expensive, but worth it. Now we can close the sunroom again since it's not as weatherproof as the rest of the house. There is a panel we can use to lock the pet flap if we need to. We can all use the door. Humans can slide it fully open, and the dogs, cats, and even the tortoise can use the flap.

It was also really easy to change the glass out ourselves. I never knew that was a thing you could do before we decided to do this, but you definitely can. There is a YouTube video showing you how. It's pretty neat. I'll have Shaun share the link with me if anyone needs / wants it.
