Installing a used french door
I am building myself a shop. The main entry is a double french door. The building is sheathed with 7/16" OSB and is wrapped. Where does the front edge of the threshold come to? Or should the jambs be the guide being flush with the exterior sheathing because this is where the exterior door casing will cover the gap between the jamb and the exterior of the bulding, and the siding will butt up against?
I think it's the latter, but am not quite sure
Thanks in advance

Yes, the jamb should be flush with the exterior sheathing. Brickmould can be used as trim, and is nailed to both the jamb of the door and the exterior wall.
