Installed! Whew!

Still have to paint trim, install screen doors.

Took just a tiny shim on one side to level left to right. Concrete
floor was perfectly flat. Built-in locks lined up perfectly, as did
the deadbolt.


Interesting... looks like they could have been wider? Or was there some
structural issue?




The 60" opening could have been made wider when the house was built. I
could have hired a good carpenter to make it wider during this latest
project, but the expense would have been substantial. Such a project
is way beyond my rudimentary carpentry skills.

The sliders were a problem, since the widest opening they would allow
was less than 30". But now, with these double opening doors, I can
pull both open at the same time.

Guess who sits on that little footstool... meow!
You couldn't afford a union laborer to spend three weeks on that for you?

This is priceless... Harry went to Home Depot and bought the special of
the day, and picked up some illegal, non-union hack in front of the
store to put it in for 50 bucks. Looks like he paid too much too He
did not install that door, you can bet on that? How do I know, well,
because he said he did and you all know what that means

I really didn't spend a lot of money on the damn French Doors because I
plan on putting up some curtain, so you really won't be able to see
them. As if I really cared what a moron like you thought.

You'd have thought I would have bought something decent instead of those
cheap doors with the plastic window frames, huh?

Nothing is cheap now-a-days, my stinky little spoofer.
I went over last week to order 6 more replacement vinyl windows. They quoted
me $2100.00 so
I settled for 4 at $1400.00. I'll get the last two for the 1st floor at the
winter booking special price.

They are cheap as in the lower end of the price scale. You can tell by
the window frames. Cheap plastic that in just a short while will yellow
nicely.

Well, you're right about pricing. But there are ways to save money and
get something better than "more expensive." A pricier set of doors I
looked at were fiberglass on the outside over an oak core. The oak
showed on the inside. I saved a few hundred by buying fiberglass outside
and inside, over a pine core. The fiberglass has a "permanent" finish,
but can be painted if you want. The window panels are the same, and the
frame on the inside that holds them in is wood, finished in the same
color as the fiberglass. Not having to paint doors is a plus to me.
I'll try to get the trim painted in the next few days, but we want to go
out fishing on Sunday. One of our favorite spots in the Bay is producing
pretty good results.
