We need a new door to our bathroom (long story short, someone (not me) tried changing the door from outswing to inswing, and it never quite fit right/trim is a mess...).
In any case, I'm going to have it done by a pro this time (sorry, I know this is a DIY forum) and I found a door I like, but I want to make sure I order it correctly (LH vs. RH, etc.).
I also can't tell the difference between these two other than Mission vs. Equal in the name. All the pics seem the same. Any idea what the difference might be?
I'm getting ready to finish my basement and want to replace the original 1988 windows before I frame the wall there. When I did this in my last house, I chipped out the mortar that was built on an angle and then built a pressure-treated 1 x 6 wood frame around the windows that I ordered to fit there. It made it easy to frame and box in the windows for a nice finished look.
My questions:
1.) Do I need to chip out the mortar that is on an angle under each window? I'd like to do this (I think) for the extra light with that slightly larger window.
2.) Do I need a PT wood frame around the new window (either with the angled mortar or without it)? If not, how do I attach the new windows to the cinderblock wall?
Obviously, these answers dictate the size of the windows I order.
The one thread I found that seemed similar to my question is this one, but it is kind of an "after the fact" question. [url]https://www.doityourself.com/forum/basements-attics-crawl-spaces/571209-basement-window-jamb.html[/url]
