Adding height to an exterior door
Hey y'all. Came into an antique-ish wooden slab with a window in it in good shape. I owe a friend a favor and they were interested in swapping it for their current back door (steel, no window). I hang doors all day so swapping the slab is no problem. Only problem is it's about half an inch short. How stupid would I be to get piece of hardwood, cut it to half an inch, and glue and screw it onto the top or bottom of the door to make it the right size? It's going to get repainted anyways. Door opens into a fully covered, enclosed porch. Doesn't get any direct sunlight or rain, just exposure to temperature. Would I need to be worried about it eventually coming apart at the seams from expansion/contraction? submitted by /u/Smooth_Set_2209 [link] [comments]
