Our south facing exterior door sticks more when temps are warm and/or it's wet. After a rain or the deck is powerwashed is when it is worst. From the inside, I can see that the bottom of the door frame/trim is bowed in - that's where it is sticking. Also, on the outside, the board under the threshold which looks like a 2x4, is loose and appears to be decaying, although I haven't probed it with a screwdriver yet. Any input would be greatly appreciated, I'd like to fix this problem while I stain the deck, this week.

I'm making a 10ft x 16 ft shed, and I'm wondering how to frame the exterior door/window part. I saw somewhere online how to do it using king studs and jack studs... and then putting cripple studs under the window opening and above the window opening... and similarly for the door. I'm wondering if I have to make a header board, or is this method of doing it fine? It's a 6 foot opening for the door.

Front door exterior, not exposed to weather. I have a front porch and storm door. Do I use flat, gloss, semi gloss? Should I use Latex or oil base?

I have a 1996 ford explorer sport and the exterior door handle quit working. My boyfriend is going to change it, and he's got it loose. The only thing holding the handle in now is the clip. He can't figure out how to get that out. He said the rod is in the way. ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!
