Here is the new door from Jeld Wen (Home Depot $188). A steel, nine-light pre-hung door. Very nice. Very durable.
Dry fitting the door. It fits!
What's going on? Just you wait, some of this is for you Nico!
I actually thought that this would take most of Saturday and some of Sunday and I'd be done. Boy was I wrong. Saturday removal and clean up. Sunday I got the door hung and started to figure out how to fix the trim and the threshold. Monday working on priming trim and installing the new storm door. The storm door is from Larsen ($224 from Lowes). Great door, lifetime warranty, many many instructions.
The door(s) in and trim re-installed. Back is sore and I'm wiped out.
Nico likes. Now he can be on squirrel patrol and he won't have to wait for someone to open the door for him. Lounge in the sun for a while then come back in to cool off. Ah - the life.
He's going to be so happy once he figures out he doesn't have to stand at the door waiting anymore! :D
