TRANSFORMING Windows to French Doors - EPIC Deck Series Pt.6
Hey guys! Part 6 of my EPIC deck building series is FINALLY here! For this last episode, I need to transform my old windows into a pair of french doors. If I don’t, I have no way of getting inside the house. So you could say that this is a pretty crucial part of my deck building process.
So follow me as I take on part 6 of my deck-building series! If you’re following along at home or want to try it out for yourself, be sure to take a look at my video below.

The boys from B&B Masonry came by to put the lentil in. The brick is really old, so they had to come in and repoint it. I helped whenever necessary, but they’re pretty good at getting the job done at a quick pace.
After we replaced the lentil, I started prepping the doors to get them in. I didn’t build them myself. Instead, I linked up with Rustica Hardware. They weren’t 100% finished when they came, so I needed to mill them before placing them in. Once all of that was done, I needed to remove the windows.
