An Andersen Project, Part Two

Day two.
The morning rain moved out, and pieces of blue sky began to show through the diminishing clouds.
It ended up being a great day for a little home improvement.
As always, the old door and window units are loaded and hauled away.

Orey helps prep the opening.

On this application, the transom needs to be set first,
and we set some temporary setting blocks to hold it in place while we leveled it and anchored it in place.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are a lot of very important matters to consider when doing a project such as this. Since it is construction, special care is given to the floor, We always put down drop cloths to protect the carpet or hardwood flooring.
The old molding of course has to be removed, and before it is pried off, we cut the paint so the paint or wallpaper is not chipped or torn.

Chuck puts in some temporary fasteners before checking the transom for level.



It's a heavy unit.


Orey has his hands full.

Next comes the stationary double door. No need for the guys to hit the weights today. This is quite the workout getting this door into place. (Notice the absence of the cameraman helping tote this door unit!)

A view from the inside. This will look super when it's trimmed out! More pictures tomorrow!


One down, and one to go! Check back tomorrow for some pictures of the finished product, and hopefully an interview with the dog.
