Well... Looks like we have to get a new door!
There's no way that we can afford a new door right now with installation. Can anyone tell me how hard it really is to install it ourselves? It's probably not possible because my DH and I have never done anything like that before.  Any ideas? I really need to fix the door. Thanks!

hanging the door can be hard but if you are patient and willing to do it over if it isn't right, you can definitely do it yourself.

We would go through the insurance except it's a $1,000 deductible. We don't have that right now.

Are you sure it's a $1000 for the door?

Doors are easy to install. Just make sure you get the same sized one

They are not that easy to install but I'm sure you can do it if you get good directions.
We put new doors in recently and had a guy from Home Depot do it and he was a professional and it took him hours to do it. Maybe you can look in the local paper for local handymen that may not charge as much as a a Home Depot or door company.

as others have said you might be able to get a handyman to do it for less. I'm sure you guys know someone that has a little home imporovement knowledge...ask around. I'm sure you can find someone you know that can help you out. Good luck, it ***** that you are going through this.

Re: Well... Looks like we have to get a new door!
My DH installed a door - it was annoying to do but not impossible.
Do you have any handy family members that can help out? Maybe check the pennysaver to look for a cheap handyman?

Re: Well... Looks like we have to get a new door!
My husband just installed our front door. He is VERY HANDY and can really do anything in the house. This however gave him a hard time because the entrance way was a different size and everything had to to be re - shaped. He did get the job done though :). I asked him if we were to higher someone to do it how much would it cost. He said about 350.00 just for installation. So, good luck. If you have any questions you can FM. - Shari
