Shut the Front Door Install! The Off Grid Mountain Cabin gets Dried In.

The Spur Cabin gets a front door! This means we are “officially” dried in.

Looking for door installation tips and techniques, they're right here!

Installing a front door isn't rocket science, but there are a LOT of steps that have to be taken before getting to the placement of the door. And this door in particular requires even an extra step or two, because I have to install jamb extensions on the frame before I hang it. The walls of the cabin are 2x6, and the door frame is made for a 2x4 wall. No sweat! You’ll see how it’s done.

Before I hang this door, I have to patch the wall sheathing beneath the doorway, add wrap, trim the sill plate, cut and install the jamb extensions, wrap the sill, caulk the sill with silicone, and THEN...I think I'm ready to put the door in the hole. I think... It's just that easy!

As a bonus, this episode includes video of scenery from a recent duck hunting trip. You won't believe the diverse landscapes I enjoyed OFF the Moose. From barren flatlands to jagged canyons, you won't want to miss it.
