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'm going to finish painting my house. Hopefully I'll get it done this
year. The trouble is, by the time I finish, the place where I started
will be three years old! My son's no help at all, I'm afraid he'd be
drunk and falling off the ladder, etc.

You don't really think that anyone believes you are Don when you spoof
his ID, do you? Well, maybe a few of the right-wing retardos here might
believe it...

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..."

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.

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.

The wife makes me hire an experienced renovator and i work with him. The
projects tend to get finished this way.
I'm thinking of replacing the two attic windows and 4 piano style window on
the west side.
The attic windows are about 24 feet off the ground so I'll probably rent a
boom lift... rather than struggling on my extension ladder.

Do you want me to post my address in Halifax as proof?
