A long time ago, I wanted to ask if ever there would be a chance that you would move a front door. But I figured probably not, so I never asked. Lo and behold, little did I know you'd some day be working on your own century old house and moving the front door. When I got an email from Michele today with this episode listed, I couldn't believe my luck. And, you're going to be cutting out the center of the door for a glass insert. Again, I can't believe my luck! Thank you, Jeff. And 'hello' Matt and Max.

Hey Jeff, I just installed an exterior door and my house is more crooked than yours. So far so good! In another video, it would be great to see you change a metal door step. Sometimes in the 90’s they were making steel door but with a pvc door step. These tend to break and speciality stores sell the aluminium step cover. It would be nice if you showed us how to replace it without tearing everything apart, since usually the door itself is still good enough when the pvc door step is collapsing. Cheers!

Great video! One minor question: Why didn't you just cut the outer siding, instead of removing it? I've installed a couple doors myself and I just do layout for the opening, set the depth of the circular saw (using test cuts), and carefully go for it. A reciprocating saw or jigsaw will finish what the circular blade doesn't cut. I guess I'm just coming from the perspective of a job site, where time is money. Again, great video!

Hi Jeff ! Excellent video as always. 2 questions though. 1. As for the top of the door on the outside, is there something to install to prevent water from getting in ? I see you've installed the membrane but with the molding, wouldn't the part of least resistance be inside ? 2. For the studs you cut, did you have to support the roof or did you just cut them ? Thank you so much for all the excellent work !
@randomgamer-st1ie5 жыл бұрын
Question #1: along the top of the door, look for something called a window cap. It tucks under the siding, and has a 1 1/4" overhang with a curved edge to direct rainwater down the front of the door and not behind the brickmold. Finish it off with j channel molding for a nice finished look. Question 2: depends on if the studs are load bearing. If they are, use 2x4s as jacks while installing your frame. For a load bearing header, you dont want the 2x4s to warp and bow under pressure, so make the header with two 2x4s sandwiched around a 1/2" piece of plywood or osb. This makes it exactly 3.5" thick, and install it vertically if that makes sense.

Is there any issue with the gap on the front of the sill? From this angle it looks like the sill only makes contact with that thin piece of wood you put in the rough opening to force water out the front. Does that get shimmed anywhere? Is there any concern that the door sill will "rock" on that board you put in there? I noticed the shims are only between that board and the sill. Thanks!

I ordered the PVC flashing to put in, but I’m wondering if the actual prehung door goes behind the veneer or up against it? Also, the brick mold for the prehung is not wide enough as the old brick mold was 5 1/2 inches. Will I most likely have to cut my own, or is there brick mold for 5 1/2 inches that can be bought like the other kits in the big box stores?

Your door is not installed with both sides in the same plane, i.e., one side is further away from the wall than the other and you're hinges are binding. Your strike late was probably "adjusted" also so the door would latch. If you don't want to redo the installation, you will need to shim behind your hinges to push the arc of the door toward the weather seal. Non, and you'll probably need to adjust your strike plate or just replace it.

Hi DIY Team, true Canadian winter DIY video !) I don't know if this is the right place for an advice, but I have similar project I need to complete this month: creating a garage entrance door between a closed garage (not heated) and the adjacent house (will be entering in the hallway). In my case, it's only drywall on both sides with a wood studs wall and no problems (pipe, wires). My questions concern - would you use a simple drywall saw to cut the hole in the finished wall? - do you still need "blueskin" in the case of an indoor closed garage (but not heated)? and how do you hide the blueskin afterwards if it sticks to the finisehd painted drywall? - I will have to cut 1 or 2 wood studs of the wall (every 16") : is there a structural risk and create a top wood beam on top of the door and transfer the load to side studs or no problemo? If it's better to send an email, please lmknow. Many thanks Jeff, great content, Happy Canada Day (late) and July DIY! PS: can you send the reference of the steel door in video, couldn't find it on your website or amazon products.

Out the back of my house, there’s a exterior door, then there is a small adjacent shed that is not heated and another very old door. Water is getting in when it rains. The door is 34x80 but the frame is only 6 inches thick. Most doors that come with a frame are 7 1/4. I would like to mount the door flush with the outside wall cause the vinyl was just redone and although it’s a shed, it’s been redone as if part of the house. Before he installed the new vinyl, the contractor covered the actual door frame with aluminum. Should I just leave the aluminium, stick some blue stuff over it, install the new door frame flush to the outside and then what do I do with the extra 1 1/4 poking out in the inside? Hope I’m clear.

Im about to do an inspection here in MB soon but really didn't want to consume more box space than necessary to pig tail 4 grounds for my switches. (would require an extra 2 connectors plus 5 extra ground wires to do this). I mean realistically all my switches upstairs are not grounded to the switch, but are grounded from the box and it still reads 120v with multimeter, so I cant get over how the inspector will react to this for a basement reno? thanks again! cant wait for more.
@GeoffPowell5 жыл бұрын
Jmaclicious new code rule for 2018 (which comes into effect here in Ontario May 16) in Canada which says if there is a ground terminal on the switch it must be connected to ground. Also all lighting switches must have a neutral wire from the circuit so that means no more 2 wire switch legs from the light fixture down to the switch. That said if you’re installing 4 switches you should have a 4 gang box. You should have 2 ground screws for each section of the box so technically you can get 2 ground wires per screw or loop around 1 screw with a long ground and go to 2 switches. Depends on number of cables and conductors in your box... lots of possibilities that could be discussed. Signed a Geoff the electrician, AKA big fan of Jeff the HomeRenovision KZbin star.

Think that house is bad...I got a 80 year old house with a round top door (Basically a traditional size door, but top is round). Just to get the door it has to be ordered from and custom made by 2-3 companies in the United States. None of the companies are near me. I've been told anything from a $2,000-$15,000 just for the door depending on what it's made from. If there is any kind of error it would have to be shipped back. But a contractor quoted me $21,000 for the entry door, storm door and labor. Definitely thinking of doing it myself. I've installed regular doors before, but never a round top door in a house that isn't square.

I would love to see how you install a header in this balloon framed house

2 jack studs and a header. simple. not structural just there to hold everything in place.

Do you need make a temporary support wall before cutting the studs?

if the studs are not load bearing then a support is not required

In this case the exterior cladding acts as a load distribution system tio the left and right. In addition the 2x10 inside the house was attached to the balloon frame as a secondary precaution.
