New Back Door

 

We needed a break from furnace work, so today, we put in the new back door. Well, we put in most of the back door. It is in it's rawest form, shims sticking out, no molding, no storm... yet.

It took a couple of hours just to dismantle the old door and it's fortress like jamb. Once the old crap was cleaned out, the new door had no plans of entering on it's own free volition.

We coaxed, we shimmed, we leveled, and another two hours later it was in.

 

This is Terry trying to put the doorknobs in . I find it hilarious that with all of the things he CAN do, he simply CANNOT put together doorknobs...

And, I find it interesting that with all the things I CANNOT do, I seem to be a great locksmith.

Go figure...

So, I took over and locked the place up.

 

Tomorrow, I hope we get the door finished, but most important, we have to clean up the work area, get tools back where they belong, and have everything ready for Saturday.

Brother Bob is coming in town for another blockbuster weekend...

 

Side notes:

I called the fence guy. He never called me back.

I called the window guy. He never called me back.

I called the Water Dept. to have the water turned on. They said "Sorry, holiday weekend".

Guess I'll start over on Monday...
