: Finally got around to installing new doors....
: Latimeria February 01, 2025, 08:34:03 p
Retrofitting two doors (from the kitchen to garage and garage to outside) were going to be trouble.  I knew about this for the last 10 years but made them work until they were literally falling off the hinges.

Went to Lowe's and I needed swing out doors and they only had swing in doors.  Swing in Fire doors cost $250 in stock.  Swing out doors (same f@cking door only they swing out) costs $825!!!!  Makes No f@cking sense, so I opted to make the swing in work.

My buddy Shaun helped (or I should say I helped) do the install and said the same thing.... this is not going to be easy.

House it not level... nothing lines up and all said it took 10 hours to install.  Holy crap...

This face says it all....

We did it right even though I was ready to just say "Good Enough".  Anyway the doors are up and working great but I still have to put up the moulding tomorrow.  I'm too whooped today.

My wife loved all of the dust we made by cutting all the dry wall.  lol

Thank goodness we are done.  I might not have been able to get out fishing, but this was way overdue!

Soon you are going to have a new house with all the upgrades  8)
