I saw that title and figured you bought a gun. 8O

Nice job on the frame. Too bad we didn't talk earlier; I just threw out a 48" door. If you're looking for a door, I can recommend Habitat for Humanity in Abby.

Across the street from Habitat for Humanity is a complex with a new Timmy's in it, and that complex is where Dayna's Doors moved to. I can recommend them if you need a frame built for a door. They did nice work for me for a good price.

midlifekrisiz · 03-13-2011, 12:44 PM

building everything myself.....gona build a re-enforced door frame for the large stuff to go in and out and have a door and frame for the side.

they will not get in once i am done :wink:

2LZ · 03-13-2011, 04:41 PM

Wait a minute! Where's your 7" concrete stem wall and double joist above the door frame!? 8O
Oh....that's right. You're not in the PRK!

:oops:

midlifekrisiz · 03-13-2011, 07:33 PM

oh don't worry there will be double and maybe even triple studs all around the door :wink:

got this far and good enough for now the rest is cosmetic

will cut in the door when the weather gets better

Looking good.

On my 14x20 "shed" I built at the other house I made a 8' wide double door I built myself.
The door jamb was steel flat lagged to the double 2x4's stock all the way around.
The doors themselves were T1-11 on the outside with 1x4's sandwiched between that and the 1/2" OSB with a 2" angle iron welded frame.

The hinges were welded to the frames and I used large slide bolts to secure the top and bottom of the right door and the left door had the lockset.

The doors opened out so kicking or prying them in wasnt going to happen easily.

I could have done more but I never had a problem.

midlifekrisiz · 03-13-2011, 08:27 PM

i originally wanted bay doors but opted out for the smaller shorter door which i can secure very easily and a smaller door will be a stronger door with just using wood.

Weldangrind · 03-13-2011, 08:41 PM

What are you going to face it with? I used cedar channel siding, and it's super easy to work with. I found it at a cedar mill in Abby on Riverside. I think you can mount it horizontally or vertically, and it looks nice with stucco.

You certainly didn't waste any time! 8)

I would be concerned about that OSB soaking up moisture on the bottom edge.

so was I but it is (except for one sheet at the corner) 1/4" off the ground

Brainsquishy · 03-14-2011, 02:00 PM

Ummm....midlifekrisiz.....
being that I have had a contracting division dealing in foundations for 20 yrs, I noticed you put the sill plate right on the driveway, right?
I have seen entire houses 2-1/2 story, lifted right off the foundation by the same method of closing in a space. i.e. decks, side sheds, car ports etc.
I know your in lotus land and all, but if the ground freezes, swells etc, it will lift the house up. :oops:
