Now that it's starting to cool down here in TX, I set out to beef up the seal on the back door. I was having a hard time figuring out why I couldn't get it sealed when I stepped back and noticed...
The top of the frame was built wrong. Both sides and the bottom are plum/level, but the top drops over 1/4" from left-right over the ~32" width.
Is there any way I can bring down the top corner without completely re-framing my door (which I am completely NOT comfortable doing on my own)? Because the other 3 sides are good, I can't shim the bottom hinge to bring the opposite corner up. If I raise all 3 hinges, I'm afraid of causing binding at the low side and still having sealing issues on the high side.
Any help or ideas would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
