Home Improvement Today?

When we bought that old place there was a double pane sliding glass door. I used black duct tape to cover outside edge of broken out pane to get us by for a few. But one of our goats pulled it open and came into living room dropping peanut turds

 

I have fresh doors leading to my second story terrasse. They work fine with no real issues. I have found it practical during parties that both doors open & give guests a better walking area to the bar. Sliding doors remind me of a mobile home for some reason.

Have you considered buying a boat?

 

I'd like them for the ability to move large items through, but I'm leery if it makes the wall less stable.

Why, is @FadedComa selling his truck?

 

Outswing yes , inswing no

 

I would've that that to be obvious lol
Can't imagine having it swing in.

 

Because he wants to buy a house boat & live off the Idaho coasts. He is a stable genius

 

Lots of people have inswing french doors

 

its not load bearing, the header above the doorway should already be made to hold the roof. I like french door vs sliding door anyday. Only problem I had was we got a cheap door and it let wind in but it did improve the look of the house. ours doors opened in...

 

I did

 

**edit** To clarify I mean the door isnt load bearing

 

New bathrooms,new exterior deck,new paint and new kitchen!

 

looks like a boardwalk vs a deck

 

Very nice

 

Yeah, it may have just been poor craftsmanship. They built the house really fast. In under a year the foundation had shifted enough that doors didn't shut, and long cracks developed in the walls. If you slammed the back door the whole wall rocked. Probably could've pushed it down if you tried.

 

Shitty view. You should move

 

How much is something like this to fix?

Is it a DIY job if patient?

I would paint, I’m just curious about fixing the sides and cracks

I’m fairly good doing housework I do construction with garage doors all the time which given isn’t as exact as some of this I’m afraid.

 

Ya the northwest has horrible weather and horrible traffic,nobody should move here

 

Some new siding,primer+paint and some calk is def a diy project if you have the time.if you do one section you’ll want new paint on all of it though

 

I didn’t get up and look at it closely it’s a House that I’m thinking about buying for renovation I guess I will look into YouTube videos on replacing Masonite

I believe it was masonite but there were big bushes in front of the house and I didn’t really wanna get cut up looking at it closely
