I was pretty sick for about 3 years from having a transplant. I let
things go. The biggest thing was the front door. Weathering caused
the form for the step to rot and the step broke in half.

Anyway. I am having it repaired. I have taken some pictures.
Notice any blaring mistakes the repair guys have made?

78 pictures and 45 meg. It takes some time to load. The front
screen seems blank, but you can do a slide show and the images load
one at a time.

BTW the threshold looks backwards. Shouldn't the door have a stop
when it closes?


Only if you want something to trip on.

An in swinging door needs to close over a part of the threshold that is
higher then the rest so water won't run into your house. Your threshold is
proper but if it gets wet I won't make book on how long it takes for the
bottoms of the jambs to rot.
