Who knew moving a door would cause problems?

Our home has recently been remodeled. It was originally built a long time ago and the front door was on the North side of the house. When NHS was remodeling it they moved the front door to the East side of the house where it just makes a lot more sense. There was already a door on the East, it just wasn't the "main" door. I didn't think anything about it when we decided to buy the house.
This is what the North side of the house used to look like:

This is what the North side of the house looks like now:

This is what the East side of the house used to look like:

I don't have a picture of what it looks like now, but I will soon.

Yesterday the building inspector pointed out that because the carport is on the back of the house instead of the side of the house, it wasn't far enough from the neighbor's property. Luckily NHS figured out how to resolve that issue and did so.
Then I called Comcast to set up a date for our service to be installed in our new house. When the door was changed, the address changed too. So Comcast doesn't have our address in their system. They have to submit a form to create that address before they can install our service. How funny.

Carrie, I can't wait for you to be so close. I also want everyone to know that this house is much bigger and more modern than it looks. Mom

I am excited for you, I thought it was a different house, but I do remember this one. I am looking forward to seeing pictures, Wow, you are buying a house. I wonder, are you going to leave the walls white?

I enjoyed your other post about things you are looking forward to, isnt it interesting the things different people look for in a house, You and Karl both have some good points.
