think it is just a hair beyond my carpentry capabilities, so it

good learning experience for me. If I do that right, why, maybe
I'll

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

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

Check your building codes re inward opening doors.



Are you alluding to some...secret? Most of the front doors I've
seen around here open inward. In fact, most hinged doors, except
for screen doors, open inward.


Flatulent is thinking of commercial establishments.
I don't think so Mr. bowlegged ball licker.

Well...I guess you're not thinking at all then!
Step aside and let the men with some construction experience talk.
Who that be. Ye who has to use two hands to roll a bowling ball.

Maybe our balls are bigger up here.


Crikey...a mouse has bigger balls than most of the righties who post
here, and that includes our navy boy flajim here.

How'd you like my comeback, fat buddy? I used your tactics to a tee!
When found out that I don't know what I'm talking about, start insulting
and name calling!

Codes may have changed. They did in Florida. Ask Eisboch what failed and
cost him over 100k in damages.




In all the houses I've lived in, I've never had an exterior door that
opened outward, except for screen doors or storm doors. I think "crank"
windows, though, have to open outward.

WHATEVER

Harry has never seen an outward (such as left hand reverse) swinging
door?????

We went with Andersen 400 Frenchwood sliders. They look like french
doors but still slide.

The real trick with anything like this is getting the rough opening
right and bucking the door in.


I wanted the french doors so we could get items wider than a single door
in or out of the house. It's only a 60" opening, in total, so with only
one side opening, the actual space available is less than 30".

If I get this door in myself, I can just hear my wife saying, "Hey...how
about building this greenhouse, pergola, whatever..."


Even if you're reasonably handy, I'd still recommend having a
carpenter install. I've built a good many things that came out square
but getting doors straight, especially french doors, requires a bit of
art in addition to skill.

I expect you had the doors ordered prehung based on the opening, eh?

Whatever mistake you make you'll live with for years to come. If the
carpenter ****s up, you can be ****ed at him and ask him to fix it.

That's the thought flashing around my synapses. The company from which I
ordered the doors will remove the old slider and install the new door
set for $500. I am tempted.

Consider it sanity insurance. Watch and learn and you'll tackle the
next set.
