We waited until the summer of 2015 to cut out a side door on the garage. We could have 
cut our windows as well but decided to wait until we had better security (i.e. camera surveillance). We simply marked our lines using an 8′ level and cranked up the 18″ Stihl chainsaw. Pretty cool to use a chainsaw to do ‘finish work’. I had found a solid wood door without a casing at a garage sale for $1 so I asked my go-to guy, Rob, to do the rest.
I bought this door for $1 at a garage sale and Rob turned it into a beautiful side door.
Have you ever had a guy on a job site that could do just 
about anything…well, that is Rob for us. Thank you Rob from the bottom of our hearts. Anyway, he not only built a wood casing for my door but also spent some time sanding the defects out and giving it a nice finish. Wow!
