Patio Door replacement time

As a home owner, you know the amount of projects you need to complete each weekend. Once you finish one job, another one pops into its place. I feel like its a never ending process but I really enjoy the time I get to do it. Here is the next job that I just finished up. I replaced my old, not so energy efficient patio doors with newer ones. They aren't the best doors in the world but they will definitely keep the heat in this winter. I really wanted to have the blinds in the glass but was out voted by the wife. She wanted very simple doors, without inserts or blinds. Here is the process.

-The old doors.

-Removed them to discover water damage on the casing. I removed, replaced and flashed the opening to prevent water from destroying the new frame.


-New door in place

-New molding installed

-Prepping for prime and paint.


-Finished!

It's been a while but I've been busy building things around the house. I'm wrapping up a new storage unit for some of my books and model displays. This isn't complete here as the door and shelf are still drying.
