Check out what happened to the glass on my neighbor's door. It's double pane and the outside one shattered spontaneously and you can scarcely feel the cracks. I think it is beautiful and wish there is some way to safely remove it for display- but I digress.
The issue at hand is replacing the door. She has a replacement door in storage (its heavy) and I and a friend have offered to help install it. What am I getting myself into? The hinges have to be recessed, holes drilled exactly in the right place and the new door trimmed slightly. Sounds easy on paper but I've never done it and the hole drilling requires zero margin of error. What is the order of doing the above tasks for the best outcome? Other tips too are welcome. I want to think this through before I start, if I do. Is it as big a deal as I am assuming?
