The unit went in without too much in the way of issues, I spent a bit more time than expected getting the old unit out. If you ever do this yourself do not use PL whatever to glue the sill to the framing, it does no good and make the door hard to remove (I used a sawsall then chipped and chipped at the PL to get a useable surface.)
the exterior color was accomplished with Weatherwood restoration stain then three coats of Gemini clear satin topcoat for exterior surfaces. Everyone has been very pleased with the final product and the ability to manipulate the stain to get the color right.
I installed the brick mold after the unit was installed just in case I had to scribe it around a stone or two ( which I did) The one stone missing on the right literally fell out ( bad mortar work) and has since been replaced. the interior is golden oak stain ( no pics I was lucky to be allowed the exterior shot ) which matches nicely with the existing detail work in the entryway area.
Let us not seek the Republican Answer , or the Democratic answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future John F. Kennedy
