Pro tip for you. Keep a tube of cherry chapstick, cheap red lipstick, even a crayon in the toolbox. When you're installing the latch flange, rub a dab on the latch and close the door. It will transfer the lipstick to the jamb, showing you exactly where the latch hits

When I installed a rain chain here I landscaped the area with river pebbles/river rock that were between 1" and 2" in diameter about 4 feet out from the bottom drain catch on each side. Then placed some larger rocks scattered about on the pebbles to make a rock garden area so that any splashing during heavier rains keeps the soil or mulch from washing away.

A nice way I was thought by an experienced carpenter in relation to finding the exact location for the latch plate on the door frame was to rub the lead of your pencil up and down on the latch then close the door and just pull the handle down and let it spring back up open the door and the lead should leave a mark exactly where the latch will close into the latch plate. Works everytime and saves so much time.

Case in point about the doors. My in-laws have an amazingly huge hardwood front door that in the winter didn't latch good because the installers did not take the time to adjust the plate.

@PerkinsBuilderBrothers. When the door plate needs to be moved up or down, to prevent from hitting the old screw hole, take the plate off, use a golf tee, put in the old screw hole, tap in and cut off flush. That will give you more surface to screw to so you're not getting "pulled" into the old hole.

To make your life easy they make lock installation tools. Part of the kit is rectangle striking blocks with blades on all 4 edges to get the outline of the strikeplates and bolts that need to be mortised. The other part looks like a small pointy plumb bob. After the crossbore and latch/bolt holes are drilled for the lockset you insert the plumb bob thingie into the latch/bolt hole. It has a point on it. Hold the door closed and give a slight tap and it perfectly marks the center of the frame for a perfect alignment. The other tip is if you don't have that tool install the deadolt or latch and put some lipstick on it. Work it in and out a couple of times. It will mark the frame where to drill. It also works to adjust or grind a strikeplate where the bolt/latch is hitting. I'm an automotive locksmith but every once in a while I have to do someone a favor so I have these tools and always have the lipstick for adjustments.

9:45 hilti dx460 is a boss when you need a PAN. Although that said, the charge type is a big determinant in noise. My guess is they would be using yellow caps with the power adjustment rolled right out to hang that VB sheeting or it would just punch right through. If you use reds or blacks and have the power dialed in, it sounds more like a .22lr pistol than a stapler.
