New Doggie Door

For the last couple of months, Peg has been bugging me to get a new doggie door.  At this point in time, I can't remember why this issue had even come up.  Was it because a co-worker had just put in one at his house?  Did the old one need replacing?  Who knows, but she went ahead and ordered one last weekend.  The rascal arrived this week!
Our new double flap doggie door cost $109.00.  The new tools we had to buy to install it cost $230.70.


Do we buy the cheap new electrical tools or the more expensive ones?  Considering that we already had three other drills (none of which could accommodate the large drill bits we needed for this project), we bought a new one and the saw to cut the opening larger.  We went middle of the road on cost...

So here it is our new doggie door.  I had to work with Beulah for some time to get her to use it because she was scared of all the loud and shrill noises made while we were installing it.



8-22-16 Peg just got back to me regarding this post.  She reminded me that the doggie door faces north and when the north wind blows a lot of very cold air was entering the house.  With the double flap of the new door, this should no longer be a problem.
