I have a question.
I had a porch built right next to, but not connected to my mobile home. About 4 or 5 years ago. It's on those concrete blocks you put the 4 x 4's in for the upright framing. It is 12 x 8 ft.
My current problem this year is the porch must be sinking about 1/2 inch and that is causing the top of my aluminum storm door to open very hard as it is sticking on the lowering wood roof framing.
I have done a bit of planeing with an old plane, but wonder if a good rough sand paper would be easier to do and get rid of about 1/2 to 1/4 inch where the storm door frame is trying to stick.
The black area is where it hangs. It gets worse if damp in the air, not as bad if less humid.
Got any ideas that do not include two jacks and someone to put wedges under the framing uprights on the concrete pier blocks.
Would coarse sandpaper do it? Do I need a modern sharper plane?
I have to stand on a two step, ladder thing to work on it.
