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! |

It was plenty wide to pass through.... but some of the fat assed dopers might struggle a bit. |

And how come it's taken you three years to paint your little house? |

I try my best not to discuss Fat Asses, and I wish you wouldn't, it just gets the dopers into a feeding frenzy talking about the photo I took at del Coronado -- I'm the real Harry, and I post from a Mac, as virtually everyone knows. If a post is attributed to me, and it isn't from a Mac, it's from an ID spoofer who hasn't the balls to post with his own ID. |

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?
