I should be able to convert that space to 80" plus transom, right?
That just might be the answer.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN You can make the opening smaller indeed. What's the finish on the outside?
@MrGoat stucco, navajo white IIRC.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN should be easy to tear out old door and frame down existing opening to new door height and add finish to exterior and interior to match existing. =) Find you a good contractor to do it =)
@MrGoat @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN
Good thinking, but two thoughts; whether house would look right with a smaller door and; if you get a contractor to tear it out and frame it in and install a new door. It may be as much as buying or having built a 10-ft door.
@FireMonkey @MrGoat I am getting quotes!
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN i meant the exterior of the house lol =) siding/stucco/dryvit etc
