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. :)


I will pray for your soul. I am continually harassed by my male friends
who claim I need either expert advice (theirs) or I should hire a
professional (again, with their consultation) when I attempt projects that
are just beyond my skill level. I am a DIY kinda person if possible. The
things I avoid are the ones where the error can be either dangerous or
expensive, e.g., more than basic car repair (spark plugs, wires, cap-rotor
on the Ford - I never touch the Benz). Also, I don't want to climb on roofs
and such. I tried my hand at tree cutting to fix a blocked access road, but
quickly realized the chainsaw (even the small one) is just too unwieldy and
thus dangerous. The cat kills most bugs, but I can get Brian to move heavy
objects if needed. :}
