Now that we had a giant hole on the front of the house, it was time to fill it.
.
.
Which meant moving the unbelievably heavy new door into position.
.
.
It may not look like it, but this thing was an absolute beast to maneuver.
.
.
My husband and his friend literally crab walked it across the lawn.
Three steps. Rest.
Three steps. Gasp for air.
Three steps. Regret not paying a contractor to do the job.
.
.
Slowly… it got closer.
.
.
And then? It had to be lifted up the two granite steps.
.
.
Which was even worse.
.
.
Please note my husband is engulfed by an unforgiving yew bush at this point.
.
.
Finally, it was in.
.
.
Though, as you can see….
Not without issues.
🥴

River's world..... 
Oh no, are those gaps on each side?

It’s a beautiful door. Keeping in mind my total ignorance of these things – how does the door get secured to the house?

It has flanges on the framing that you nail or screw to the wood in the rough opening.

Don’t call them “issues.” Call them “blog fodder.” 🤣

I think most of us reading this knew there would be issues; the only question being, how big?
