The front door of my house is out of square. The top of the door

need to shim from the bottom? TIA


Is the door out of square or is the house settling making it look like
it's out of square?


Hardly matters, dontcha think? The door is out of square with respect to
the frame.


Well I would think you would want to know why it's not square. But I guess
if I were you I'd just tackle the job without a clue.


(Unless you think you can rectify this by jacking the house and squaring
the door frame ...)


I'd think again if the house is settling and causing door problems, you'd
want to know. But I guess if I were you I'd just wish it away. And of
course shim the door. So I could shim it again a year later!
