The Door, Day 2

So by the end of Sunday, I had finished almost everything. I had to straighten up the hole for the doggy door because it was slightly crooked. Then I cut the holes for the doorknob and deadbolt. I used the old hardware from the original door so we don't have to change keys. Then I built a new threshold and added weatherstripping foam along the sides (the old weatherstripping was metal and rusting!). Unfortunately, even with compression the weatherstripping added 1/8 inch, so I needed to adjust the positions of the strike plates towards the interior. All of these things (plus some trial and error) took me all day, from 9am to 9pm. The back room is a mess, but the only thing left now is to paint!
