I did the same as Keith, using some spare strap iron I had laying around. Taped it up and haven't thought about it since.
Using steel is preferable to leaving 2-3" of polyiso at the bottom of the door because it may get kicked and broken. I've hit my head and scraped my back on the top of that door enough times. I reckon I'd put a boot through a polyiso door sill on the first day. -Joshua On Sat, Jun 25, 2011 at 7:57 PM, Keith Brown <[email protected]> wrote: > I did not leave a connection at the bottom.
