It’s better to build the jamb around the door before installing. That way you know it’s true and fits the door. It’s relatively simple, you can go about it with basic screws or fancy joinery depending on your skill level. I built a custom jamb last year to reuse an old door original to my home and I was surprised how well it turned out and people are amazed when I tell them I built the door jamb. For reference, I’m a slightly skilled DIYer who is happy to take on a project slightly above my skill set to learn.

This is what I did last year. We added a first floor powder room in an old house and tapped into the central hot and cold water lines. The bathroom was the priority so we could have two toilets. But I was always planning on a more extensive plumbing redo to the main lines so I used shark bites and left a little extra pex so I can dial it in the future.

I have an HP Elitebook for work and it’s a touchscreen laptop that can completely fold over to be a tablet-like device. It’s nice, I’m not a fan of touching the screen, but it comes with a stylus and I can sign or initial digital document (I’m required to approve things). It’s handy to have, but not something I need. I’d be happy if my MacBook had the functionality.

Has anyone had to deal with pests under a deck? I found two dead squirrels under a ground level deck. I have no idea what killed them or why they choose my deck to die under. The smell was atrocious and as long as I have some board up, I’d like to try and solve the problem. Any thoughts? And what should I do, barring removal of the ground level deck?
