But as I said, you'd have to be doing it on a really regular basis to make working up a good system worthwhile.



And that, sir, is why I doff my hat to you.
They still adjust countertops on site and when was the last time you saw a countertop on hinges where one side was outside and the other inside. Plus they use caulk on countertops to hide the gaps, even if they are small, you can't do that with a door, it needs to be pretty darn perfect.

I always dread putting the metal interlocking hardware on for the threshold. I have to do a destructive cut on the bottom of the door and put the metal strip on with a crapload of nails and caulk, and then test it out to see if it fits. If it doesn't it is hard to go back and make it right. I haven't screwed one up yet, but it gives me the Willies every time. Oh ya, countertops don't need weather stripping either.

here's some Balustrades and rails we're working on right now. The frames will be primed before they get installed. I just slipped a few together so you could see the (near) finished product.
