http://tinyurl.com/2ecnx3g 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. |

Now, if any wacko doper shows up at your door, you'll have plenty of time to plan their speedy withdrawal. |

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

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

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 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. |
