oups.com... Hi there,


What I am wondering is, will it make any difference which part gets
built first? Should I have the window turned into a door first before
attempting to build thedeckpart?


Thanks in advance for your advice.


Deckfirst. Will make working on the door (more finicky) much easier to do.


It is much easier to make the deck match the door. Besides, if you
build the door first you will have easier access to the deck project.


You're the second person to suggest that matching the deck to the door
is easier and I just don't get that.

As part of planning the project, you should be able to determine
exactly where the deck should be in relation to the door whether the
door is there or not. It's merely a matter of measuring correctly.

Then, once the deck is in place, you'll have a platform on both sides
to make the installation of the door much easier.
