Front Door Repair
Today I spent all day fixing the door, but I finished before the rain started. My plan worked, but I did one step in the wrong order and had to improvise a work around. I installed the door jamb replacement piece before installing the threshold, and the door jamb blocked the threshold from sliding into place.
I still have about a day of work on this, mostly painting and fixing the trim pieces. My friend, Dave, not only helped me by scraping old caulk and running to the store for more parts, but he saved me several hours by noticing that my cut piece of wood was enough for both replacement pieces. I had planned to sculpt another piece, something that would have cost two hours and may not have even worked at that. Thanks, Dave.
