Installing the Door Jamb

The lovely jamb I built the previous weekend was all set and ready to be installed. I gave it a light sand and got to work filling in that hole.

I added some shims to level it out and tried nailing it in place. Unfortunately the edges started to split. Screws would have left giant holes, so I used a ton of adhesive and glued it in place. This is a low traffic area and I did add a couple of screws in a hidden spot at the back, so hopefully it will stay in place. It still needs to be stained or a clear coat added so it blends in a bit more with the existing floors.

And now we know: was not too hard to install and really makes a difference to have the gap covered up.
