If you know me then you may also know that I enjoy doing projects and I don’t mind helping other out either.  One project I have never tackeled before is replacing a front door.  Well not anymore.  This time I took the show on the road to NE Philly and my coworker Rob’s house.  After 12 hours the door is finally with minimal work left to be done. A new screen door will also have to be put in but that is a lot simpler than the big main door.  It was humid and in the upper 80s but by 11:15pm the front door stood in all it’s glory leaving me sweaty, tired, and a little sore but otherwise the both of us were pleased with the outcome.  One of the hardest parts was just widening the existing opening for the new doorway with obstacles like stone and big blocks of existing framing wood in the way.  The tool of choice for most of it was reciprocating saw and hammer/chisel. We also had to mix up cement to fill in a couple of voids left from a pre-existing threshold that was sawed and chopped out.  I think at some point I may re-do my front door but I will definitely leave a full 2 days to finish it. Eh… maybe 3.

Just figured I would post this pic… from Uncle wacky Rhi Rhi

The time has come….

Oh what fun it is to have a corner house that you have to shovel almost 2ft of snow off the sidewalks and all.  I finally got my kitty-kat Hope to help and as you can see she was very tired by the end of the day and needed a little nap!
