Putting the frames (jambs? I don't know what to call them) on is dead easy. Drill a pilot hole, then put the screws in. I drove the screws with my B&D power screwdriver. It has this yellow LED on it - you can see it in the picture. I bet I could change it and put a different color in there....hmmmm. Not that I need another project. I have so many I can't count them all.
Here's the door actually closed! Because of the small size of the stairwell, it's hard to get a straight-on pixture of the whole door.
And the top 'drip cap.' I wonder how long it will stay this clean? There was a gap between the cast iron beam across the top of the opening and the brick which I caulked. Now no crawling critters can get in there.
When I first started assessing this door project and I was looking at the frame, I saw a basement centipede crawl into one of the cracks between the wood frame and the brick. No more.
