Doors and Jambs - I Hate This Job

[@anetzband1383]

Doug, you're doing fine. You might think it's your least favorite part of the work, but I think you are really good at it. I'll be your cheerleader. Love the color and the care you've taken with those two hinged doors.

[@mariacasella6474]

I may not comment on every video but I never miss one-your house is turning into a gorgeous custom home-love it

[@vestafairie]

i want to thank you. i'm a 61 year old female who hasn't tried many do-it-yourself projects. but, watching your channel, i have gotten inspired! using your tips, i install a kick plate on my front door. now, i am a 61 year old female with power tools!!! thank you for inspiring me to do small projects on my own!

[@enriquegarciacota3914]

Congratulations! Enjoy your new tools with safety!

[@susiestokely3528]

“We are just a DIY family”, hmmm, Doug you and Ashley are a PHENOMENAL DIY family. You have such a practical and sensible approach to all your projects, always looking ahead to potential problems and taking steps to mitigate them with ingenious solutions. Your doors looks AWESOME so far!

[@Aliceinjonesville]

Ashleys’ deadpan response “It’ good enough.” I laughed right out loud!! All the love to you two!! 🙌🏼🥰

[@lindahall3252]

Enjoy watching the progress you and Ashley are making....no matter how many curveball s get thrown your way, the two of you land on your feet and the results are beautiful and customed fitted for your family and looks great. Hope all of you are feeling better....take care

[@valeriejohnson1775]

Your door stops are such a neat idea. It's hard to believe you hate finish work so much because you do it so well. You two are so funny!!

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

The doors are beautiful! Remember this is your home!!!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@claudiasoare2299]

I don’t know if you realize but you are one of a kind family, rare to find this days. The kind of people many would like as friends or neighbors.I love you guys very much even I might never meet you! God bless you all!

[@pinkmosquito22]

I definitely think a lot of us echo this ☺️

[@suzannetaylor9110]

The only people you have to please is yourself and your sweet wife.God Bless and have a great day.😊

[@moviemakerwannabe]

In case I haven't told you lately; I appreciate your work ethic. You are both hard workers and you are teaching your children good work ethic. That has not been commonly done in our society for a long time. It will give them an advantage in this world.

[@crinkle2649]

I know you aren't a fan of finish work, but everything you do always looks amazing when you are finished with it.

[@klogns]

So true

[@debramackinnon8094]

Hi Doug and Ashley. Doug you are doing fine for you. The doors will be beautiful! As always, Blessing and Keep Doing You!

[@marlenekutcher938]

Doug and Ashley you make jobs around the house so easy. I feel bad for women who expect the same from their spouses and become greatly disappointed only to find they are not so handy. I know this because I became the handy person and my spouse was relieved. My girls all know how to use tools. Doors are looking beautiful!

[@Aiko2-26-9]

I laughed at the ending. Your editing is always spot on. So fun.

[@stef1lee]

Imagine if everyone loved doing every job around the house, no one would have broken stuff or unpainted/ chipped areas. You're doing great and I really really love the channel. I love seeing your ideas come to fruition.

[@lorihunt7318]

...in a perfect world, right? 💙

[@margenek]

Boy those risers you have been using while painting doors, etc. are so awesome. The doors look perfect…

[@Flower3394]

Doug and Ashley. You guys are doing a great job with renovating. Detailing may not be your strong point. But its an accomplishment. Its finished. You dont have to come back later to do it. You can check it off your list of things that need to be done. You can move onto other things. Things you enjoy. Thats why i enjoy watching your channel. You enjoy making a home for your family the way you want it done. I always look foward to your next video as always. Keep it up you two. I dont comment much unless i feel like i just have to say something. And this is something i had to say. 🤘👍👍👍

[@heweyhaynes9007]

Dude you are the man the doors are the bomb i hear ya on finish but the more you do it the better you get you know that keep up the great work you and your family are doing

[@irishheart4768]

Pocket doors would have been nice. Great looking door great choice Doug & Ashley. God bless.

[@patd9290]

I understand how you feel about doing finish carpentry. However, having observed your work for a few years now - please don't worry. You are careful, slow, and patient, That is the key to doing finish carpentry. It can't be done in a rush and your concern for perfection will cause you to do it right. And remember - it can be done over. It is just a door or ?? Not that it doesn't cost a lot of money but it is something replaceable. I appreciate your caution and anxiety but you are doing great. Everything that you have done is beautiful. Listen to your friends. Be safe. Love

[@LaToyaPlansLife]

Everything is coming along nice, Doug & Ashley!!! The doors look really nice😉

[@jacquicoder7160]

Perhaps the most hilarious ending ever! Doug, you are so thoughtful about all that you do, even how to end a video. Seriously, your work is great, you aren't afraid to try new things and to do things the way you want them done. I think your bedroom, and the rest of the house, is going to be something you can be very proud to have done.

[@sheilavanduynfote5539]

Doug everything you have done in renovating has turned out amazing. I can’t wait to see the doors installed.

[@elainetip6795]

😂😂😂😂😂 that ending was absolutely brilliant 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@marystrenke3050]

Oh my goodness!!! The ending was hilarious 😂😂😂😂 And the doors are beautiful ❤️

[@sharoncochran8508]

I'm so impressed with your patience and determination to get the job done correctly! Sending good wishes from Alabama! 🦋

[@helencline5768]

IF ANYONE CAN DO IT RIGHT YOU CAN,YOU CAN FIGURE ANYTHING OUT. LOVE WATCHING YOU WORK,LEARN SO MUCH.👍👍👍👍👍

[@karlab9557]

Beautiful doors! Love the stain. My old house, almost 100 years old has old (heavy) doors with two hinges.

[@mlm7598]

I think the doors are going to look great. I have yet to see one thing that you and Ashley do that doesn't turn out beautifully. I was just remembering my dad building his own double door garage door and remembering the time and effort he put into that and time consuming + .........he used it for so so many years and when he passed and new people bought the home and tore it down it broke my heart as I had watched him build that in his late 60's years of age. Your doors are going to be beautiful I know as all you do is and the most important and beautiful thing is you did it by hand. Your gift is the labor of loving to work with wood by hand and creating and the love of that makes all things that you do beautiful. Stain can be changed as can paint but the love and desire to please with your gift of craft can be replaced by no one. That gift belongs to you and Ashley and that is where the beauty lies in the "whole" of all you do. You are both very gifted and we who are creative are probably our own worst critics. I know they are going to be another work of art as only the two of you can do......together! Blessings............excited for the next episode! I pray all of you are feeling better. 🌴🌴🌴😊😊😊😊🌴🌴🌴

[@user-vd9zv9tc4x]

I miss your longer video’s but I’m happy I get to see your new work I love it.

[@dezfan]

I think the doors look great. And the amount of money you’ve saved doing it yourself has to be incredible! 👍🏼

[@jdlambert8043]

Just a tip, for what it’s worth, when boring a door knob hole, drill from one side until your pilot bit starts to come out the other side. Then drill from the other side. Prevents tear-out and makes it easy to get the wood back out of the hole saw.

[@sarahaugustine4185]

I can hardly wait for the doors to be installed. I bet they will be beautiful.

[@mrsdig57]

Doug there's nothing just about you and Ashley. Your work is always impeccable my be word for the day. Kidding aside I love the thought process you both put into it. It will be a beautiful home just like your other ones. Please stop worrying about what anyone else says you do you. Love to the family Ashley I know you do the editing.

[@barbaratankersley7117]

You guys do a beautiful job on everything you guys do Thank you for sharing GOD bless you and your family

[@fijid8976]

Outstanding job Doug👊. We all have our least favorite things to do😬. You are phenomenal, inspiring, talented and great team work!. Cannot wait to see the end result!. As always keep safe and God bless your beautiful friend 🙏 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💐

[@lindapeterson7166]

Hi Doug Ashley & kids, I sure like the colors you chose for the doors.Have a nice week.🌷💕🌷

[@texasfloodthe9370]

Haha very nice ending. Loved it

[@Jo.H.]

Hi Ashley and Doug your door frames and doors turned out lovely. I love the colour of the stain. The stack racks are so handy, bet you are glad you bought them.

[@diyfferent]

Yep, those Stak Racks have been very handy!!

[@trixiemartin4687]

My house is almost 100 years old and all my interior solid wood doors only have 2 hinges. I love your choice stain. Keep up the good work.

[@Azoreanislandgirl64]

I think it came out stunning. You're to critical of yourself. God bless you and your family ❤️🙏❤️

[@jimcooksey812]

I hung those in a 6 panel door in my entire house... You will appreciate them down the road for the sound proofing. That door jig is meant to be used from both sides, half way from each side, cleaner finish cut.

[@michaelconrad5227]

For not enjoying doing doors. you do a heck of great job. love the color also. Reminds me of the early times homes. nice to see a home built with home made trim too. so tired of the same cookie cutter style homes.

[@pattycarosi9618]

Doug I love the doors. You may dislike some of the work yet everything you do looks so beautiful! Always enjoy the video's. Loved that ending!😊 Glad to see you are all doing well. Looking forward to what comes next. I think any grass in Florida is hard to grow and keep nice. The weeds grow faster. 😂 Have a blessed week. 😊

[@cherylcallahan5402]

*DIYfferent with Doug and Ashley appreciate your videos Listening 🌟 from Mass USA TYVM 💙*

[@tammysarrazin7078]

great job on the doors, you work so well together and im loving the house make over hugsssss

[@carolannbolinger3795]

I think they are looking very good. Thanks for sharing

[@JB43186]

For something you hate, you’ve conquered those doors. Good job!

[@jamjar5716]

That was the most unique closing ever!

[@wendyfaith1048]

Doug and Ashley,,, I am sure the doors, jambs and trim will be beautiful. Is the stain the cabernay of the bathroom trim? AND am absolutely looking forward to seeing that yummy, green glass, period door knob be installed. The glass door is interesting. One of the things I like the most about your channel is the permission you give yourselves to explore your own choices. Onward!!!

[@diyfferent]

Yep, it's the same Cabernet color. :)

[@therealcraigsutton2740]

doors look good Mr Doug! Oh yeah next year the grass will be looking good!! Ms Ashley knows Sand means less mowing lol

[@sallyhover8173]

Lol! The ending! Doug and Ashley I am always so impressed with the beautiful and detailed work y’all do! The doors are looking gorgeous in my opinion. It’s very much fun to see everything fall into place for y’all. The grounds are looking great and I’m pretty sure you will enjoy them for a long time. God bless y’all 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸

[@klogns]

As usual your abilities with carpentry work never ceases to amaze me. Great job!! Blessings to your family. P.S. Belle's artwork looks like something that could be published in any of the books that she has. Awestruck at her abilities.

[@janetread3877]

Beautiful doors, love the finish….

[@jkbeattyable]

Haha...I like the ending. Looking forward to seeing the doors installed. Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤❤

[@SparkieLady3]

I agree with you, Ashley!! It would make me very happy, to have nothing but sand in the yard! LOL!! Everytime I walked outside the front, side or back door, it would give me the feeling of having my own personal beach! Oh, I would LOVE to have the luxury of walking around the yard barefoot. There's nothing that would compare to the feeling of, soft warm sand going between your toes with every step, without having to worry about hurting or cutting your foot on something. But most importantly, being able to take mini vacations from working so hard. Right there at your fingertips, you can have fun and relax by having picnics in the yard, building sand castles with the kids, ride bikes and things like that. I'm sure y'all could think of a lot of fun things you can do as a family, without it breaking the bank. Besides the big bonus is, you won't have to worry about mowing the lawn ever again!! LOL!! So yes, my vote would always be for sand!! LOL!! Especially, if it's the stiff centipede grass, however, I know there are several other softer types of grass options available, but it's still sand for me. Thank you for sharing your progress on your home with us. Until next time, take care. Much Love and Hugs to you and your amazing family!!😊

[@TheWynch]

We planted centipede grass in our yard in GA, it does grow in runners and it only takes a few roots to grow an acres worth. It will continue to grow in over a couple of years and you will get a woven carpet of grass. It is beautiful and withstands heat and drought very well. You may have to mow it once a year, but edging is a must because it will spread to your neighbors property. It is an expensive grass, we used to have people stop by and ask for plugs so they could grow their yards. Another nice thing is it chokes out weeds. The work you are doing is looking quite lovely and I can't wait to see you move on to the rest of your house.

[@missykowalewski]

Wow u guys. I couldn’t help but think about that to do list in Kokomo when u decided to sell ur home. U fixed a door with relative ease. Now ur building the frames and jams from scratch. U guys have come so far and it’s been fun to watch. I don’t like the conditioner either. Its wood and just needs to be wood with all its imperfections. Great job u guys.

[@wdjones4735]

Wow!!!! The doors are beautiful! I really like the glass panel in the one! I had a back door just like that. It let the light in and really made the entry from the back elegant. Great choice❤️ 5-stars on the end of the video👍🏻

[@marciawoods3270]

The doors are beautiful. Hope y’all are getting some rest. I was wondering why you was in such deep thoughts at the end of the video and how cool was that. Y’all are just awesome.

[@rebeccaramirez-]

excellence is God given not learned and your family has truly a Yaweah given gift❤💙💖❤💙

[@tete7958]

I love the stops! Nice detail for a normally boring part of the door jam. You do really well with all the finishes you do, sorry you don't enjoy doing them. Heads up for a wood conditioner for stain. Pros use just plain water. It opens the pores a tiny bit and gives a wonderfully even coverage. Especially with the hard woods. Just a wet rag prior to staining. Your pine should be fine without it, but if you ever have to do stairs or something like that, try it. Have a great week!

[@lindahelmbrecht1248]

You remind me of my guy………perfection, first and foremost. Your work is just as good if not better than many carpenters.

[@pama.6410]

Every new project is another step closer to completion! Bet the doors will look beautiful!

[@depoquest7928]

Yes, centipede is the grass of the south!! We have it in SC too. Everything looks great and you both do a fantastic job.

[@itzbishop5256]

My kreg jig had the plastic shavings come out too, it said in the instructions that it was to be expected the first couple uses

[@marymisdom3955]

Oh my gosh! I'm on pins and noodles waiting in suspense of the green jewel toned door knob?!?

[@deannamarie4149]

I love the stain color for the doors. I am looking forward to seeing this project completed and being introduced to the rest of the house.. I am enjoying this renovation, but more so I love that you are settled in to a place that you seem so comfortable... #untilnexttimetakecare

[@jimdelong949]

Hi Doug & Ashley Doug Doing trim or finish work is tedious. So a lot of people don't enjoy it. I think you do a great job. If you and Ashley are happy. That's all that matters. I like that you used the trim for the door stops. It adds some character to the doors. That's an idea I would have probably used . I prefer making my own frames versus pre-hung . When the house is done, you both will be able to look at it and see you. Always wishing you the best Stay strong and safe

[@joniwarren3100]

I love what you guys are doing to the house. It will be beautiful when done. Love the dark stain with the light green. Seeing a house get restored is like seeing an old car get restored. Knowing they won’t be torn down and end in the junk yard. Keep up the great work…😊

[@martihetrick609]

Be happy what is gotten done and it is your house and I'm proud of you and your family ...

[@oldmcdanelsfarm592]

I love the door stops!! I never thought of using trim for that!! Great job Doug and Ashley!!

[@joannthompson09]

Your doors and jambs are turning out absolutely beautiful. You always do such an awesome job at everything you do.

[@yamaha4015]

Doors and jambs good, nice idea using larger stops. They will be just fine. Absolutely luv the way u ended video. Carry on

[@kerryevans7413]

I think the doors will look just fine. Don't let it get you down everything you'll have done so far looks Great.

[@eviefieseler1093]

That glass door was a good idea, because the hall will be a lot lighter. You probably will leave the bedroom door open a lot of the time for better air circulation, but times it's closed your hall will still be bright. That ending proves what we know intuitively: If man can THINK it, he can DO it. 😊

[@garbaldy9926]

Best end to a video, EVER! GJ Doug!

[@tammyfinch5469]

You do great work Doug. That's coming from someone who grew up in the business. Just keep doing what you're doing.

[@richardjones5255]

Interesting for all those who think about doing things and are too afraid to start, and those who wonder why things do not turn out quite right. Your care over notching out for the lock and hinges slots, was a lesson to all those whose regret their sloppy work. The sensible use of a spacer to position the door stop was clearly explained to all who watched, well done.

[@davesmathers1990]

Hey Nice job on the doors yea staining and Finnish can be tough but yours looks great.dont worry about what people say everything your doing looks good👍

[@vahneb7260]

Even when it’s a challenge, you continue to do a great job. Be blessed.

[@413MassDigger]

if people only knew the planning and pre thought that has to go into everything when youre doing custom work!! great job guys

[@lucillelee741]

Doug, you are amazing! You and your wife take such pride and are so hard working. I love everything you have done.

[@eleanorflynn370]

I have to say for someone who hates finishing you are doing a great job of it the attention to detail is amazing well done I can't wait to see the finished job

[@rayfrawley8736]

I like that style of door stop so much better.

[@Just_Chuck_It]

Door are easy. Biggest thing is to make sure you know how to measure for the door size you need. Then to make sure you don't need to repair the structure surrounding the door (especially the threshold/kick plate). Hanging is super simple. I use a 16 gauge finish nailer, to tack it into place. I use shims and construction strews at the latch point/s. And I use 2 4" construction screws in each door hinge of an exterior door. This provides strength but it also allows you to make micro adjustments by loosening or tightening the screws to allow for play to achieve the desired hanging height. Setting the lock plates is easily door is the door is hung. I have had to build my own door frames in customer homes due to the house being of older construction and odd sized door framing. It's easier to build your own door frame than it is to tear out a wall and re-frame it. That can open a can of worms.............. Love your channel. I too am renovating and repairing our recently bought property and house. It's fun to make things the way you want them. It's a ton of work. But it's so rewarding. Even if no one else notices it or sees it. You know it's there and you can be proud of what you did with your own two hands.

[@terryrobinson1416]

I'm with you brother. I can do almost anything, but my finishing skills aren't up to my own standards.

[@barbarakujawa320]

[@anthonysnyder197798]

The glass door on the bathroom would look really fun in my opinion. Maybe give it a little thought

[@heatheroester6817]

Love love love the door color!My old original doors only have 2 hinges also and they are nice well working doors!They designed it over 100 years ago in this house and still going strong!

[@galady8632]

My lawn is established centipede and zoysia. It's like walking on 3-4" carpet. It came with the house. I certainly wouldn't spend the time and money to make it happen but I do enjoy it. The stain for the doors and framework you built perfectly suit your home. Continuity is important, especially in an older home. Although Doug isn't a fan of trim work and doors he always manages to do beautiful work. I do enjoy watching you 2 work together.

[@sharondumont9048]

Doug your comical 🤣 “ I think I’m going to end this video” lol 😂 I think your good at the finish work, although just because we maybe good at doing something doesn’t always mean you like it ❤️👍🏼🇨🇦😉

[@jiggymamason4920]

Our house was built in 1930. Huge solid wood doors, been hanging from 2 hinges for almost a 100 years. 😁

[@amayastrata4629]
