WHEN LOOKING FOR A CONTRACTOR DON'T OVERLOOK THE FATHER-SON TEAMS. THERE ARE SOME GREAT ONES OUT THERE AND THE CRAFTSMANSHIP AND SAVINGS CAN BE GREAT. CHECK WITH FRIENDS FOR KNOWN BUILDERS.
FOR A PROFESSIONAL LOOKING CAULKING JOB, LAY DOWN A SMOOTH EVEN BEAD OF CAULK, WET FINGER OFTEN AND SPREAD . DON'T OVER CAULK.
TO INSURE THAT A CORNER IS SQUARE USE THE "543" RULE: MEASURE FROM THE CORNER 4 FEET DOWN ONE SIDE, MEASURE DOWN THE OTHER SIDE FROM THE CORNER 3 FEET. IF YOU MEASURE 5 FEET BETWEEN THESE TWO POINTS, THEN THE CORNER IS SQUARE.
HAVING PROBLEMS DETERMINING LEFT OR RIGHT HAND DOOR; REMEMBER "BUTT TO BUTT" STAND WITH YOUR BACK TO THE HINGES. IF THE DOOR SWINGS TO YOUR LEFT, ITS A LEFT HAND DOOR. IF IT SWINGS TO YOUR RIGHT, THEN ITS A RIGHT HAND DOOR.
