A Room With A View

In a previous post, The Fuzz related some of his misadventures over the weekend.
The errands mentioned in regard to this unfortunate incident were related to our current project. Even before we moved into our new Home in the Woods, we had planned on replacing this door with a sliding glass one.
There were good reasons for this other than the improved view, and ventilation.
At the left, at A & B, one may notice the pathetic patchwork covering rotted out places in the wall.
So The Fuzz, and His Sweetie hooked up their trusty trailer, and headed into town to the Home Improvement Store.
There, they purchased a fine new Sliding Glass Door for their Home in the Woods. When they asked for help in loading this item onto the trailer, the Knowledgeable "Associate" warned them of dire consequences if they attempted to transport this valuable item laying flat. It would have to be delivered, at a cost of around $60! Here you may see how it actually was delivered.
The Fuzz was not happy about this, and said so. It was explained that this was the way they always did it. When the delivery men saw that The Fuzz was unhappy (about that 60 bucks!) and had his camera, they told him they would get that fee refunded to him.
The old door, and part of the wall were removed with the assistance of a Helpful Son in Law.
Next, the damaged area of the floor was repaired. This went fairly well. Then it was time to frame in the rough opening. You may notice the 2x4 prop that was used to support the roof while all this was going on.
At last it was time to actually put the door into position. That sucker was heavy. The instructions (which were read, if not followed to the letter) said to remove the sliding part of this assembly. That was helpful.And here is a look at our Brand New Sliding Glass Door, installed, in it's new home.
There is still a lot to do to finish this job. The wiring needs to be taken care of. The Fuzz was in route for the necessary items for this, when he met with misfortune. And of course, the wall needs to be closed up. The Fuzz hopes to attend to these details as his condition improves.
