" And the first thing we wanted to do here is that built some sort of a jig. To to build the doors -- at which is nothing more than a guide for your work. That's right Al who have done taken piece of plywood with about what is straight heads screwed it down right along the factory ads so that we don't got a perfectly straight edge here to work again right and often that we do is tell the framing square. And put another piece on a ninety degree angle off -- that and we're just gonna hold all of material. Into that Connor and traveler -- know the doors are here plan and the doors are -- being made her as saying. These are already dining room. And you could push at all into the and here's what we -- stuff and make sure that you're gonna have nice square door. That's that.

So are you ready to put us put together Obama go on while -- to dove sits when right -- I was gonna say you've taken. This the tongue off of this last board over here right but then you have to remove the groove this one. OK that means a trip through the table saw the table I'll set up that right now right -- All right now Howard and make sure we get all these tongue and grooves in really tight OK well we're just gonna go up.

Bob meets with Ryley on the third floor of the Cambridge House to re-hang the old doors (they've been stripped) and install the new trim.

Storm-Ready Windows and Doors
Storm-Ready Windows and Doors

Doors and windows are vulnerable components of your homes protective shell or envelope because they are easily penetrated by wind-borne debris often generated by the high winds of storms like hurricanes. If that envelope is breached during a storm because of the failure of windows and doors, wind, wind-driven rain and debris can enter your home causing considerable damage to its interior and your property. A more critical issue develops when the envelope is breached -- high winds can enter your home and exert high pressure on your walls and roof. These internal pressures combined with the external pressure of wind blowing over your home can lead to catastrophic damage. You can protect your home's openings by installing impact-resistant windows and doors or installing impact resistant coverings, such as shutters over windows and doors. Impact resistant glass and shutters are specifically designed to meet a combination of impact and continuous pressure from the wind. Always use products that have been tested to one of these standards and have been designated as such through a recognized product approval system or evaluation report. Ratings SBCCI SSTD 12 ASTM E 1886 and ASTM E 1996 Miami-Dade Protocols PA 201, PA 202, and PA 203. Impact resistant windows usually consist of a clear plastic-like film sandwiched between two specially-treated pieces of glass, giving the window greater strength than glass alone. Equally important as the strength of the glass is the strength of the window's frame. An impact resistant window is tested as a unit that includes the glass, the frame, as well as the attachment hardware and the installation method. Impact resistant windows should always be installed following the manufacturer's recommendations. Exterior doors should also be wind and impact resistant or protected with an impact resistant covering. Garage Doors Garage doors are particularly vulnerable to high winds, because of the long span of opening they cover and the relatively lightweight material they are made of. Two options are available for strengthening garage doors. Replace the door and track with a system that is designed to withstand high winds and wind-borne debris. The second option is to protect the garage door with a tested and approved impact resistant covering.

Hanging Double Doors
Hanging Double Doors

The tricky part of hanging double doors is that they have to meet in the middle. After hanging each door, check to see how they come together. It's seldom perfect the first time. If they overlap by more than an eighth of an inch, you'll need to plane some off of both doors; for smaller overlaps, only one door needs to be planed and sanded until you get a perfect fit.

New Insulated Garage Doors
New Insulated Garage Doors

The garage doors are being replaced on the Norwell house. Although the project primarily involves adding an in-law suite to the home, homeowner Howard Brickman is replacing the original garage doors and installing two doors on the new garage. Bob talks with Brickman, who built this home 25 years ago on a fairly tight budget. Brickman estimated that construction costs probably ran about $50 per square foot, a figure that would not be possible today. The existing garage doors are fiberboard in a wood frame, with no insulating value. Bob talks with Robert Rainey of PJ Overhead Door about the installation of the new doors. All the hardware has been removed from old door so the sections can be taken out. The hardware is worn and the track is outdated so it will all be replaced with new hardware and operating mechanisms. The new door is a two-sided steel door with a 24-gauge exterior and a 27-gauge interior. The door features two inches of polyurethane insulation, which gives it an R-value of 13 �a vast improvement over the existing doors. The interior side of the door has an embossed wood-grain finish while the exterior has an embossed panel with a carriage-door design. This Amarr Classica 3000 door has the appearance of a wood door and the performance of factory-finished metal. A rubber gasket on the door will act as a seal to prevent air and water from entering the garage. The first panel is put in place and then the track is assembled.
