On Sunday we installed our new sliding glass door!
Remember this old, broken, ugly door?
Well, it's gone now! After a little convincing we were able to get it out of the wall.
We started off by building the frame for the door. Since we didn't buy a pre-assembled door, and the instructions were pretty generic, we had to build it to measure how big of an opening to cut.
Then we had to cut the opening in the wall. We started by pulling out some of the insulation and cutting the beams.
And that left us with a very thick wall of stucco...
Doug tried making a hole in the wall with a hammer.
That didn't work very well, so we moved onto power tools.
The area next to where we wanted to put the door was where a window once was. Unfortunately the stucco patch was done really thick, which made it very difficult to break without taking down the whole patch. So down came the patch.
Goodbye pink stucco!
The last step was cutting out the baseboard so we could stick the frame in.
We got the frame in the hole! It fits!
And last but not least... stick the doors in place! We have a sliding glass door now!
