The house has been sold so the only work being done is to do some smaller repairs to complete the sale. Regardless, some of this is worth detailing.
The side and rear doors needed weather stripping at the bottom as per the city inspector so each door was pulled from it's hinges and the bottom half inch sawn off to attach an aluminum ell that will hold the rubber gasket at the bottom edge of the door. The units are 36" in length and are sawn off to fit. Make sure to make them shorter than the door to allow for the molding.
The rear door had a threshold that was below the level of the floor so once the strip was installed it rubbed too hard on the floor. The solution was to install a new threshold. Fortunately I had an oak blank on hand and was able to shape it with the table saw. A few counter sinks and some construction adhesive and it was completed.
The rest of the work was some electrical work related to getting proper grounding.
