Yesterday began a quick race to get a set of replacement cellar doors on the basement outside entrance before the winter hits hard. The old ones are less than beautiful... Frankly they are rotted and pretty worthless.
Many thanks to Mom and Dad for the support...we have a set of doors that I am in the process of fitting to the entry!
Here are the old doors. Much punishment with a hammer turned out to be better than a cut-off wheel to remove the old metal hinges. They are out of the way now!
Here is what is left of one hinge after removing it. I've not much to say for the door either...
Here is a pair of 2x10s to become the new frame. It's getting pretty dark out!
I cut them at the top ends to bevel to match the house. I'll build a mini-sloped roof to merge the doors to the house wall. I'll create a set of flashing pieces to route the water away...
This is the beginning of a sill for the base. I'll get some sill-seal and then anchor these down with bolts...
More soon!
