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!


When I built a new cape Cod style house back in 1975/76 I installed 5'
wide sliding doors.
It was plenty wide to pass through.... but some of the fat assed dopers
might struggle a bit.

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
