Menards to the rescue!


Recommended Posts

I don't agree or disagree with anything said about the Amish construction skills, this is the only thing I've had done that an Amish crew did. But my door problem wasn't their doing. The general contractor is the one who ordered the wrong doors (maybe on purpose to save money; or he just didn't care, or he didn't know the difference, or all the above) and the Amish just built the place using what he provided. I did notice that as I examined my doors for removal, they nailed the thing in through the brickmould...I've not seen that before and it makes things more complicated removing the door frame. It also seems they may have been paid by the nail, given the number of them they used....not only in the door but pretty much everywhere else.

Great job, Fred.  The only thing that I would do differently would be to seal the bottom of the wood.  It will wick up the moisture from the rain or sprinkler water on that concrete and shorten the life.  Either a roofing cement or silicone caulk, which I hate, but just something to seal it.
