It just seems so logical to me to know what I'm starting with and to

But, in _reassembling_ the door, what can you do about it anyway? *The
answer is, "effectively nothing". *The pieces fit where they belong,
period. *Done. *Finis.

They don't/won't fit where they don't belong and you can't really alter
that w/o completely making new ones or grossly altering the existing.

See other note amplifying the outer rails/bottom stile perhaps
having already been trimmed...but to take away the suspense the short
story is "it doesn't matter" (yet). *

I agree 99.9% that nothing can be done when reassembling the door. But
what about that 1 in 1000 chance that something could pop up while
checking the door for square that might make you do something
different - or perhaps not repair the door at all?

That's all I'm saying...and it's something I would do before tackling
the repair on the off chance that the exercise itself might turn up
something that could impact how I proceed. Since it can't possibly
hurt to know that information, but it could possibly help, why not
check it?
