The new fiberglass deck door installed.

This was yet another project that took 3 times longer then it should have.  I bought the door pre-hung in the frame.  To paint and install it should've taken two days.

In the garage before tearing the old door out, I took the new door out of its frame, removed the hinges and weather stripping, and primed and first coat painted everything.  It wasn't warm enough for the primer to dry, so I had to leave the cars outside a few nights and add space heaters in the garage.  Once I got the old door and frame removed, I realized I needed to custom cut a new threshold, then prime and paint it.  Another night with the cars outside and the space heaters on.

On the day I finally went to install the door and frame, I got the threshold screwed in and could not get the door to hang properly ... I worked on it for 4 hours before giving up.  I got out the Yellow Pages and called around before I found carpenters to come and help.  When they arrived, they did their thing and announced that the new door frame was 3/8" wider on top than the bottom and that my hinges were bent.
  

They did their best to straighten the door frame in place for an hour and then when they hung the door they saw exactly what I saw, it wouldn't hang right and wouldn't close.  They straightened the hinges and finally had to route deeper holes for the hinges to get it to close properly.

The carpenters then advised me to fill the gaps between the door frame and opening with expanding foam.  I bought a can of it and did it that evening.  Overnight as the foam expanded, it pushed in on the door frame and in the morning the door no longer would open.  I had force the door open, remove it from the frame and take a wallboard saw to all the hardened expanded foam, taking me 3 hours to cut it all out.  Then I had to clean up that mess, re-nail all the nails in the frame and add a few more to get the door to open and shut properly again.  I bought a roll of regular fiberglass insulation, cut it into small strips and filled the gaps with it.  I was then able to install the exterior brick mold, putty in all the nail holes and caulk everything, waited overnight and then painted the exterior.   The project ended up taking me an entire week.
