Sweating the details
Don't worry too much about that last post. That was the post-traumatic stress talking. The next day I felt much better. Especially when I found out that buying a brand new pre-hung door was so cheap and look better than the old door.
I picked up a new door from Lowe's last week. A nice one with a full, 15-lite glass front. I had a much easier time installing the door last Sunday. Everything was much more chill. I took my time and figured out exactly what I needed. And I was just about ready to drop the door in when I realized the door I bought was too big. Doh!
Now I've learned that they don't even have the 30" wide door I need in stock. I would have to order it custom. And that will take 2 weeks to arrive. 2 more weeks with a plywood back door. Sigh.
I think I might just settle for an uglier door. They have slightly uglier 30" doors in stock at Home Depot. and It would be about half the price. I'm so tired of making decisions.
