It's good to know I'm not the only one who uses single edge razors as a clean-up tool. I use them all the time. Oh, and the shed is cool, too!

The sloped section you ripped off of the window is a stop/seal that meets an opposing sloped section when the window closes. It is common on double hung windows.

Outswing doors is the way to go. That's how we do it in Scandinavia. There are several safety benefits with outswing doors. First, if you need to evacuate the building, opening the door won't slow you down and you can still open the door even if there is a crowd pushing on your back when reaching the door. Second, if someone tries to kick the door in, it's not as easy as with an inswing door. Third, if it's raining sideways, the outswing door will keep more of the rain outside than the inswing door. Fourth, an outswing door don't need any spacing indoors, which will give you more space to stack things in your shed. Nice build!

As always, I learn so much when I watch your videos! I had no idea that doors had a bevel to help them close. I'm also incredibly jealous of your second-hand shop, we have a Habitat for Humanity restore but tend to get mainly newer construction items. That hexagonal window you passed by was so lovely!

@kevincasey2947 2 жыл бұрын

oohhh geez... I did this exact same project with installing salvaged doors for my shop. I reversed the swing, cut the bevel, pulled out the bolt, pounded in a dowel, built the frame, all that... Mine were double doors and I cut the doors down and made them Dutch doors to swing out to save shop space and for the benefit of natural ventilation in the summer. I really struggled with my sanity and happiness doing it all by myself and the relative ease and joy you express and the fine help you have almost makes me want to go back to Second Use and wander around stupid again and hurt myself some more...😥

That’s the top sash of a cottage-style double hung window. The angle you cut off mates with the angle on the lower sash when both are closed. Likely there was felt or other weather stripping a long the length at some point.

I find it very interesting that you say that exterior doors should be inwards opening as here in Sweden we almost exclusively have outwards opening doors for our exterior doors, and the weather here can be very rough with rain, snow, storms, sleet, and everything in between. :)

I'm surprised to hear that you think outswing is worse for rain. I'm pretty sure here on Florida that it's recommended to do outswing because when you have driving rain, it pushes the door against the seal making it resist water intrusion. When you have an inswing the wind can push the door away from the seal allowing water to get in. In addition, an outswing is less likely to blow in during heavy winds because it has the door stop trim instead of just depending on the handset and lock to keep it closed. Not that you're wrong, it's just contrary to what I've heard. I'll have research that later 🙂

@MichaelAlm 2 жыл бұрын

Interesting 🤔 Maybe depending on where you live, one is better than the other...

@frankmthompson 2 жыл бұрын

@@MichaelAlm from what I just ready it appears that outswing are better for water intrusion, BUT if you live in an areas where it snows this tradeoff is acceptable because outswing doors can be blocked by snow, which makes complete sense why up north inswing would be preferred! Learn something new everyday and having lived in Florida my whole life I've never had to consider the effect of snow on my doors...lol

You should screw some 3 inch screws through that strike plate to help keep someone from busting the door open as easily. When it goes into the frame people can't just pull the little screws out without much fuss and steal tools.

@Torbox1 Жыл бұрын

That looks great and nice use of old reclaimed parts. Maybe someone already asked and you answered but couldn't you have just made it into a LH outswing door with the hinges on the right, instead of re-cutting the bevels to make it a RH outswing? I'm guessing maybe you didn't want to be stuck between the hedge and door when bringing things in and out though.

(This video was perfectly timed for me as I just bought a solid wood door for a closet in my 1888 home and now have to trim it to fit and hang...my concern being that I doubt the opening is square and I'm not sure how much of the frame I want to rip out.)
