Let's put in a back door first

Ray had a simple plan: put in a back door. A normal sized back door. But I had a few suprizes up my sleve. And under my carpet, if you know what I mean.


He started with an almost livable room.


Added a hole in the back wall.


Threw debris in back yard with dead pears.


Discovered that the rear beam of the house is rotten.


Dug out new footings to take support of new rear beam.


Suprise! Ray discovered entire floor is rotten, ripped it out; and he dug out a crawl space -- with the help a few workers.


The he boarded it up and called professionals.


Professionals, camera shy professionals. What happened to my almost livable back room?
