I know I am going to regret this, but…

I’ve decided to rip out the last sliding patio door in our house and
replace it with inward opening double French doors and double screen
doors. The part I think I will regret is that I’m convincing myself that
I ought be the one who removes the old door and installs the new doors. I
think it is just a hair beyond my carpentry capabilities, so it would be a
good learning experience for me. If I do that right, why, maybe I’ll
start building rowboats in my spare time!

Anyway, I ordered the doors and trimmings and I’ll have about four weeks
to make up my mind before they arrive. Choice was between wood doors, clad
wood doors, or fiberglass doors. I ordered the latter.

If you're a believer, pray for me. :)


The wife makes me hire an experienced renovator and i work with him. The
projects tend to get finished this way.
I'm thinking of replacing the two attic windows and 4 piano style window on
the west side.
The attic windows are about 24 feet off the ground so I'll probably rent a
boom lift... rather than struggling on my extension ladder.
