I might have gone a little over kill but it should hold up to anything

nothing wrong with that dude, nice job……I got the same kind of door way into my shop as well, I built mine about 3 feet longer then yours so I could add a couple windows on the sides…..
Better to build it right than have it go wrong later.
My rule of thumb is usually if 2 screws are good, 4 are better so I think it’s great!

lol it is sad we have one buddy that tips the scales at around 450lbs…..6’8″ and about 4′ wide……the man is just huge……..so when I built my first poker table he broke it, just by leaning on it and bringing his chair closer….I have learnt from that …….nothing is over kill…….I have since built my tables with him in mind
No such thing as overbuilt. Looks really good, the house is really coming along. Looks like a lot of lonely nights…been there I feel for ya. Keep it up!
Looks great Don!! Nothing wrong with overkill man.
That’s gorgeous Don, did you 96 the original door and now just have a single into the basement?
Looks good to me!
Looking good and besides that you are adding more value to your home.Nice job man.
Thanks guys it’s coming along quicker than I hoped (once the siding was started)

Chris, no I have 2 doors the one in the foundation and the exterior, I have thoughts of insulating the walkout to try and keep the basement warmer, but for now the double door should suffice. The old setup was just a storm door which did not do anything to keep anything out. Plus it has a little more security but don’t think I need it with a dead bolt.
Thanks Don. I guess after this last of an abortion of a winter your are dead on about having two doors!TheDon81 wrote:
