Door Installation

Lots of house projects this summer! Well, at least I'm learning stuff aside from fish. ;) We replaced the front and back doors and thus I watched intently as it's not as straightforwards as popping the old door out of the hinge and slapping a new one. Why? Well, the back door got widened while the front door had the sidelights replaced as well.

I wish I took pictures of the installation! The front door comes in one piece with the sidelights and they plopped it in and screwed it into the frame. The back door needed a frame to be made to retrofit it to the house (the company who ordered it was a schmuck and ordered it without the frame) so it took just as long if not longer than the front door! It's quite tedious to make sure everything is lined up properly and flush before putting in the final touches. It was an all day affair! Then there was all the caulking and other miscellaneous tasks.
