Feeling beat after hanging a new front door for my in-laws.  Not actually a new door but one their neighbour had just taken off and you have no idea how hard it is to hang a door that has already been hung somewhere else.

Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

I do!! You're entitled to insult all you want while hanging said door.

Right now I'm taking a pain killer for my neck.  :(

Nothing in its new space lined up with the ironmongery of the old door.  Not the hinges, the mortice lock, the yale lock, the chain, the door bolts - nada.  Not only that, but after reducing the door width to fit the new doorway, all the locks had to be housed in another 1/2" deeper which left visible holes on the front which had to be filled. 

Ache even more today.

So basically all that could go wrong went wrong.  :)  At least you managed to make things work.

Would have been easier to just get a new door.  That sounds like it was a true PitA.

It depends on the door.

That's what I do and why people ask.

Would have been easier to just get a new door.  That sounds like it was a true PitA.

I think my father in-law saw the door the neighbour had changed and thought he could make good use of it considering a new one in that material would cost about £90.  I think by the end though even he wished he hadn't asked as (as XT said) everything that could have been a problem, was a problem. 

It looked sweet once finished though which is the important thing.

It depends on the door.

Had a new door been solid oak for instance, it would have been no fun at all.

Waiting for my meds to kick in.  Having a terrible allergy attack and it doesn't seem to be getting any better.

Hope it calms down for you soon Sub'.  What was it that triggered it?  Pollen, work, men?
