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?

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.

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.
Vinyl windows? Really?

Cheap builders model doors?

Probably the ugliest generic doors I have ever seen...



Uh-huh. The doors probably cost more than all the furnishings in your one
bathroom, motorcycle-in-the-kitchen house. They are just standard "french"
doors.

This, I understand, is the front door on your house:

How narcissistic of you! What a tiny yard, too.

No I do not, while most of my property is left natural, I have over
25,000 sq. ft of lawn. I ended up buying a used tractor from an
Amish man who helped rebuild my barn.

This is priceless... Harry went to Home Depot and bought the special of

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.

Looks good.


Hey, thanks. It was pretty scary for me... Getting the old door out was
much more difficult, involving j mold and a pneumatic cut-off saw and my
fear factor.

Scary was when I put in the Andersen Frenchwood door and my wife said
she wanted the track an inch lower. I ended up taking my brand new
track to the table saw, Ripped off the whole bottom of it and just
installed the actual runner strip. Then I had to make the doors an
inch and a half taller to match the hole.
Fortunately we have a lot of red oak I put in and I had some wood to
work with. It really came out pretty well but it was scary for a
while. When her door guys came over to install the Windoor corner
sliders (I was not going to tackle that one) they looked at the
Anderson and were really confused until I told them what we did.


Well, you are well beyond my home carpentry ability and bravery!
