I'm getting ready to replace my storm door. I have a 32" door with frame. with the door stop i'm looking at 31" and need to get rid of the stop to free up the extra 1".... By the looks of it, the stop is built into the frame, i'm trying to find the cheapest and best solution for this. I don't have a lot of tools or power equipment. Would it be best to use a oscillating tool to cut that stop out? or would it be better to pull the whole frame and get a new wood frame itself? THanks in advanced

A month ago with 40~50km wind blown 30~40ml rain, I found water dropping from the top frame of living room window, about 1.5 liter. rain was not shower just light to middle rain. The window wood top frame wood shows a little gap all the way and white powder drops, seems to be drywall got broken. I caulked suspicious area above the window a few days ago. but, yesterday another 30~45km wind blown 30~40ml rain, about 2 liter total leaked, the dropping speed was maximum 2~3 drops per seconds when it rain outside harder. I went to the attic and crawled to the house front, but it was hard to find water hint at the small space, I took pictures but can not confirm if there're water leak or not. House is 9 years old, second floor window has no leaks. 5 weep holes are only under the living room window, but I saw rain leaks for many years at the softfit under the garage door roof. I guess the leaked water should get out from those weep holes. I did not check yet water comes from or not when rains. I don't know what to do now. When I caulked abobe the window area, gaps between stones and cement looked normal, I caulked a little bigger gaps. Which one could be the 1st try?? - apply "[URL="http://www.thompsonswaterseal.com/waterproofing-products/multisurface-waterproofers/"]Thompson’s WaterSeal[/URL]" on whole or some of the front of the house. worry if stones get shine or not. - apply caulking more minor cracks and gaps above the window. - call roofer to check roof. - open up the window top wood frame and see inside..
