Fresh from clicking off 1/4 mile times in the low 11's, Chevellian Rob helps me install a door on my patio. This was my first attempt at doing a job like this myself. I know talking to Rob, he never did this either (this should be good 
). I am not one to pay someone to do work on my house. I AM a do it yourselfer. So away we went. Started it around 4:30 Tuesday. Ran into some rotted wood that needed replaced (glad I didn't throw all that wood out from my deck rebuild). After alot of swearing 
and laughing 
, cutting and breaking, we finished it up around 8 pm. We ate some sandwiches that the Mrs. went after, washed it down with some good ales (Rob is cheap labor 
). Needless to say though, neither of us were happy with the way we had to shim the bottom. So, Rob came back on Wed. night to help level it off a bit better. It went alot smoother tonight. Had it buttoned up by 5 ish. Props to Rob for all the help......I'm sure the next door will be MUCH easier to install now that we have experience
