Imagine a 2004-record collection box set

Imagine if JF put out a box set of his 2004 records, with alternate takes, demos. I know he made demoes for the will to death, probably demoes for many of the songs on a sphere in the heart of silence as well, rehearsal tapes from ATAXIA... What else?

Does this look like a simple door install or am I underestimating it?

I bought a custom-sized oak door with frame. The door seems very solid/stiff, and the wall opening/frame is already built and appears to fit perfectly. The hinges/screw holes are pre-drilled.

Is this potentially a straightforward install where I can just screw it into place, or are there important things I should watch out for?

What should I know about:

  • making sure the frame is square/plumb
  • door threshold alignment
  • expansion/movement of solid oak
  • weight/support while mounting
  • hinge adjustments
  • clearance gaps

A carpenter is coming by tonight, but the quoted price seemed high and I don’t have enough experience to judge whether this is actually a difficult job or not. I’d appreciate honest advice on what makes this type of installation easy vs complicated, and what would justify a high labor cost.
