Daily Home Renovation Tips每日家裝修秘訣

It takes a few weeks before the replacement door sweep is received by the big box building supply retailer.它需時數週前，更換門掃收到大方塊建設供應零售商。 We are now at February 13th when Dave returns to finish the job (install the correct door sweep, insert the missing part above the frame, apply the black exterior caulking, install the proper support underneath the extended exterior face plate, and insert the missing black exterior plugs.我們現在正處於2月13日，當戴夫的回報來完成任務（安裝正確的大門，打掃，插入失踪的一部分，上述的框架內，運用黑色表面嵌縫，安裝適當的支持下，延長外部面板，並插入失踪黑色外部插頭。

The scheduled day arrives, as does very cold temperature in the morning.預定天來臨之際，作為是否非常冷的溫度是在早上。 The materials have been sitting in Dave’s trailer over night and now there is a risk that if Dave attempts to cut the black cladding  which covers the wood that is to be inserted on top of the wood frame immediately beneath the fascia of the eves trough, the cladding will crack.該材料已坐在在戴夫的拖車過夜，現在有一種危險，如果戴夫企圖切斷黑包層，其中包括木材，那就是插入再加上木材框架立即下方筋膜的eves槽，包層將裂紋。 And, forget about the caulking, it’s now very thick due to the freezing overnight temperatures.和，忘記關於嵌縫，它的現在很厚，由於凍結在一夜之間氣溫。

So, I suggest that we put the material in our basement in the morning to slowly warm up and have Dave return in the afternoon.因此，我建議我們把材料在我們的地下室是在早上，慢慢升溫，並已返回戴夫在下午。 Makes sense to him, so we do this.責任感使他的，所以我們做到這一點。

OK, do Dave returns and proceeds to install the door sweep.確定，戴夫的回報和收益要安裝的大門，打掃。 However, it is a different model than the one which came with the door.不過，這是一個不同的模型比其中附帶的大門。 This one has 6 ’sweeps’ whereas the original one had only 3.這一個有6個'彩票' ，而原來的1只3 。 Once the new sweep is installed, the fit is so gosh darn tight that to open the door one needs two hands and to close the door one needs to push with the full force of one’s body behind it!一旦新的掃描安裝，適合是如此gosh石壩緊絀，要敞開大門，一需要兩隻手，並關閉大門，一有需要，推動與充分的力量之一的身體背後！ This will not do.這是不會做的。

But, at least we don’t need that towel any longer at the bottom of the door.不過，至少我們並不需要用到這種毛巾的任何更長的在底部的大門。

Next, Dave installed the missing part between the top of the door frame and the fascia.接下來，戴夫安裝失踪的一部分，公司高層之間的門框和筋膜。 It looks nice.看來不錯。 However, shortly there after the fascia again buckles so there will need to be more remedial work done to ‘finish’ the installation so the fascia no longer buckles.不過，在短期內有筋膜後，再次扣，因此將需要更多的補救工作做了'完成'安裝，使筋膜不再扣。

Dave then proceeds to remove the temporary support for the extended face plate and install the permanent support underneath the face plate.戴夫的收益，然後刪除臨時支持擴展面板和安裝永久性的支持下，面對板。 He even colours it with black caulking which is also uses on other parts of the exterior.他甚至顏色，它與黑色嵌縫，這也是利用對其他部分的外牆。

However, he has some bad news.不過，他有一些壞消息。 The door manufacturer and the building supply retailer do not have plugs for the holes in the exterior cladding that match its black colour.門製造商和零售商的建設供應沒有插頭為孔在外部包覆相匹配的，其黑色。 The only plugs he can obtain are either white or green (green?).唯一的插頭，他可以取得都是白色或綠色（綠皮書？ ） 。 Who manufactures a door and does not provide the plugs in the same colour as the cladding?誰製造的大門，並不提供插頭在相同的顏色作為包層？

Stay tuned……more to follow.敬請期待… …更多的遵循。 Needless to say, the installation is not finished .不用說，安裝尚未完成 。 To continue reading about our replacement front door experiences with the big box building supply retailer, simply select this link to繼續讀我們的更換前門的經驗與大方塊建設供應零售商，只需選擇此鏈接 Part 12部分12 . 。
