Jhawksheriff Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 I am kicking around the idea of making my own entry doors, and am looking for as much info as possible on the topic. I.e. wood type, sizes, insulation ratings, techniques, step by step instructions etc... Also, if you know of any good books on the topic those suggestions are welcome as well. Thanks!!

Jhawksheriff Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I live in Kansas where summers are humid and go into the nineties and hundreds in July/August. the winters are cold and dry and get in the singles and teens (usually colder on a handful of days) for a couple months. Everything in between the rest of the months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
