[04-23 20:04] [Chat] Roku: if I lived there, i'd pay for a painted stainless steel frame and door. Not pretty, but effective for decades.
[04-23 20:04] [Chat] Roku: here we just replace the plastic sweeps lol
[04-23 20:05] [Chat] Roku: But we also have another cost - massive amounts of insulation that can cause myriad of mold and other moisture issues.
[04-23 20:06] [Chat] Roku: so you are best off with anything treated with borax from the start, or if you are cheap, spray the powder onto the insulation before you seal it up with drywall or plastic
[04-23 20:09] [Chat] Icewolfz: issue is mor ethe door is backwards
[04-23 20:09] [Chat] Icewolfz: roper fix is turn i arround but with how hte kitchen is deisgned it cant be done with otu a total ktichen redesign
[04-23 20:09] [Chat] Icewolfz: htye have the hinged on the outside, someone wit ha screw driver just needs ot pop them to get in
[04-23 20:10] [Chat] Icewolfz: really moron who ever installed and designed that ktichen layout
[04-23 20:10] [Chat] Roku: that's not true, they do make double hinged doors to fix that.
[04-23 20:11] [Chat] Roku: I put one in when I remodeled my kitchen. It allows the door to open from the other side but slide slightly inward when open to clear objects, like my range in my kitchen
[04-23 20:12] [Chat] Roku: The hinges are usually a direct swap out. about $20 ea and you'd need 3 for exterior door
[04-23 20:13] [Chat] Icewolfz: its a wierd layout
[04-23 20:14] [Chat] Icewolfz: overall the dor has to open out due to desing of cabnets
[04-23 20:15] [Chat] Icewolfz: that and the house isa little warped form settled so there are gaps as well
[04-23 20:19] [Chat] Roku: well, then you need a commercial safety door and frame. the frame will fix the warps and gaps - using shims and mortar - and they are designed to open outwards.
[04-23 20:19] [Chat] Icewolfz: probbly a som day thing if ever
[04-23 20:20] [Chat] Roku: lol, get one after a car slams into a business and insurance pays for the walls to be replace or something.
[04-23 20:20] [Chat] Icewolfz: doenst happen all that much around here
[04-23 20:20] [Chat] Roku: or a business that burns - but not to the ground.
[04-23 20:21] [Chat] Roku: with the snow and ice here, plus the drunk and way too old drivers, happens pretty frequently here.
