A new door!

We got a new door a few weeks ago to replace the door between the house and the garage. Neither of us had ever installed a door before. No worries, right? Wrong. As we should well know by now, nothing in this house is standard or level or anything. Consequently, installing a door becomes a very tricky procedure.

First, we learn that there is a two inch gap between the frame and the opening. Second, we learn that new door will not fit into opening with the bottom threshold. So, we remove it. Then we saw down the ends of the frame because a standard door is just slightly too tall to fit in our not standard opening. Finally, we get the door in. Hooray! Oh wait, it's crooked. Or the opening is crooked. Or the frame is crooked. Or the house itself is crooked and everything else is straight. Who knows?

After much muttering, smacking of door frames, rearranging of shims, etc. we finally get it to a good spot. We screwed it into place, and now have a new door (sans doorknob)!
