2 things that caused this. The eves dont overhang far enough, so when it rains, the water falls off the roof and hits the bottom of the door. The 2nd, is the deck is about an inch higher than the floor. So the water pools there. I need to lower the deck, install a gutter (at least over the deck area) and Ice shield from the inside, out, around and down the exterior wall. They also have the flashing the wrong way, so its basically a funnel into the door way

And those two things are not the home makers fault. It should have gutters anyways, and you should have properly measured for the deck.

So basically, when its all done there will be a half wall. The door side will have cubbys for shoes and then a coat rack on the wall. Here is my shit rendition

It was on sale for like .73 or so

I think it came out to right around $1/sq ft. with the underlayment and tape

Looks good! I scraped a hallway and laundry room of that stuff! No fun to get it back up. I finished laying the last room of laminate yesterday. just have four small closets left. i bought 1500sqft of laminate for a little less than what you paid. I found it at lumber liquidators. not sure how many bags of padding i've bought now, so i can't really tell how much it worked out to be.

I guess I should add: The wood floor went all the way to the door prior to new door install. So the tile will be like the mud room area.

I like the half wall idea Jason. Looking good, keep it up
