Installing My Front Door and "Porch"

I finally got around to installing my front door and "porch" the other day following my move to Brandy Station.

The front door is easy. I just set it in place, screw the threshold down to the platform, and tighten down the inside clamps that grab the canvas. It makes a pretty good seal, keeping out insects and the wind.

The rectangular portion in the center of the door assembly is the hinged portion that you walk through. The triangles to either side and on top are fixed Plexiglas windows.

I also installed the front "porch", which is just a 3' x 4' platform in front of the door. I cut two 4x4s to the proper length to level out the porch.
