Ugh

I spent 4 vacation days working dark-to-dark adn every
weekend day and many nights. Hardest work I've
done in many years.
|
The root of Evil: The guys that built the house
ran the roof flashing right into the corner trim board
-- and even carved it out, which funneled water inside
the wall for 32 years. Argh!

I was planning to replace the slider in our family room
(had the door already, custom build). We did it as
part of the repair project. Here's the old one.
|
|
And the new panels. Andersen 200-series

Old door and the new frame I assembled in the dark one
morning.
