1. Old door jamb - I left this corner
piece in as it was, but never checked it to see if it was
actually plumb...it isn't.
It is off by 1/8" top to bottom. To late to fix it now. These
kinds of hard to reach corners had to be finished before
I could do any other work. This channel along the top of
the box drains water and is what the door will seal against.
3. Mitered corner of inner door structure - what a pain.
I cut the wrong pieces in half and used them for the sides of
the inner structure
...I made them 2" longer for the top cross piece, but forgot I
did that since it has been so many years. It will work out
with a little
patching on one end. Because of the angle cut, I only need to
fill in a small chunk on the outer area (easy) of the inner
structure.
4. First look at the door installed. Just in mock up,
but actually hanging on the inner structure and making
progress.
5. Inner structure with "end caps" all just temp
installed. So many small parts to fit together...
6. Good view of the hinge mounted to inner structure.
The holes in the inner structure are slotted so the door can
be adjusted up and down.
