Big Door

So I installed a door yesterday. Yes, we've already installed aost all of our door, but this one is special. It's the fire door to the garage and its HEAVY. 

So on sawhorses and it seems we have a problem...


That tile we installed should have stopped at the drywall not the framing. So, Sandi's idea, scribe the line with a glass cutter then thump it with a chisel (I used a drift) to break it of. Worked well, better than taking the tile up for a re-do.

The door vendor I thought measured the rough opening, but the door was EXACTLY the size of the opening height so would not go in. I have a power plane so used that to take off about 1/8" on top to make it fit. 

Shims to help with squaring and we have a door to stem the cold incursion that has begun with the advent of fall. Now for some paint...
