That's an old joiner's trick with doors. Use a hammer and a chisel to lift the door with your foot whilst you get the first screws in. My dad showed me that. He could also put putty into a new pane with both hands at the same time. Skills sadly lost.That';; be a good job when done, do you have mitre saw, chisels etc?
Unfortunately, I do not have the space for many tools. Using a smallcupboard under the stairs that I have "tetris-style" packed with tools.
I am a little chuffed. Whilst on conference calls this morning (where all I had to do was listen), I managed to fix our sagging front door, re-position the front door lock, and re-position the lock on the loo as well.
Particularly happy with my use of a Car Scissor Jack(!) to prop-up the end of front door to right it back to its proper position!!
