Small Job, But Fun
These folks asked me to put screen doors on the front of their 1812 farmhouse.
 Sorry It's sideways, photobucket stymies me, I swear I rotated it 5 times. I had to build the casing and mullion out to have enough depth to install the new doors. I had fun fitting the beaded mouldings together.   Here's everything painted and the mortar touched up, homeowner will repaint the doors to match the screen doors.  Finished pics inside and out w/ the screens mounted.

Re: Small Job, But Fun
Nice, sometimes small jobs are good to do. In this case you could find yourself doing a lot of construction maintenance on an old historic house and it could lead it's way to bigger, better things.
I just happen to know from personal experience how true that is.

Re: Small Job, But FunQuote:
I had the doors and the mouldings made by a local woodworking shop. The masonary part of the threshold already extended out over an inch so I didn't have to fuss with it. The wooden threshold was beveled so I beveled the bottoms of the doors and the notches in the mouldings at the same angle. |

Re: Small Job, But Fun
Well done!
What is the purpose of the hardware at the bottom center of those doors? I have never seen that before. |
