Hopefully in the very near future I will be dropping in to new exterior doors and knocking down the horrible add-on job the previous owner did. I am a little confused when looking at a few things.
In this pic the wall you see next to the door is really the outside wall of the house the previous owner tried to make a walk through and put an add-on over that area. The house is all stucco on the outside but now the wall is flat with texture on it from what i can tell. I thought it may be a thin sheet of sheet rock nailed into the stucco but fear I am wrong. How else would they get it more of a flat surface, just mud the whole thing over?
To the right of the door there is what looks like cement running up it which is all cracked and falling out as well as to the left. The door looks like it is pressed right up against the framing to the right and on the left there is a bigger gap and some shims.
I am curious as to what needs to be removed to put in a nice door. I figured I would go pre-hung and afterward have the stucco re-done in that area once I remove the add-on. I can also provide more pics if it will help but figured most of it could be seen in those.
There is also another door that needs to be dropped in as well. This one leads from the 3 car garage to the outside. I have been hanging new sheet rock in the garage and when I removed some of it near the door area I saw the framing for the doorway and noticed a layer of styrofoam right up against it. I tried to re-search it a but but didn't really come across anything. Gotta turn your head sideways!
This is the doorway for the garage to outside
And this is the outside add-on that is being removed after the doors are in and good to go.
Thanks a bunch!
