DOOR DAY!!

Finally! Today was door day. Piece of cake, the door practically fell out. What we uncovered behind the siding was the challenge! SWL spent a good half day with a hand chisel cutting out the rot we found in the foundation board. It was backbreaking, and he was patient.... he painstakingly went down to find clean, dry, flat board - so that he could patch with pressure treated 2 x 4's. He then built back up to fill the door gap. Tomorrow will be the easy part....
three 2 x 4 stud boards, sheath in plywood (they're cut and dry fit already in place), tack in the tar paper and then cut and patch the siding back in. Really should be doable - either before or after a quick dental check tomorrow. I was the gofer today. Made a big trip to Lowes to get the subway tile for the first floor bath; buy the 2 x 4's, toilet seats, mulch, nails, electrical connectors, saw blades... that might be it. Then I ran to APCO to pick up another piece of siding and starter strip. I mulched the fence line bed, and was pretty much the door cheerleader. I
also ran home mid day to receive the dining table.... it's still boxed, so I'll let you know what it looks like when I have the energy to open an end! Tomorrow: door completion - we hope and cabinet delivery!!
