Default Trimming wood vs. metal exterior doors

In this case, re-configuring the opening to make it a standard size to
fit a pre-hung 32x80 exterior door size would be a lot of work and
probably not worth the effort to me. It would involve interior and
exterior trim removal and replacement, and it is old-style trim attached
to a wood lath and plaster wall on the inside and wood siding on the
outside. Plus, there is a storm door that would also have to be resized
and replaced. None of this would be worth it if my other option is to
just buy a 32x80 solid wood door and trim it a little to match the
existing opening.


Figure $400 - ? depending on what you want.
