I have a somewhat unique situation. I have a sliding glass door (3 panel) that I would like to remove and replace with a false garage door. This is on the front of my shop, and I have decided that the sliders look out of place in the front of my house, and a false garage door would complement the door on the adjacent 2 car garage.
Anyway, my conundrum is that a standard 7 x 9 door will not fit in terms of height. I am thinking about cutting down the
height of the top panel by about 2". I am wondering how much of a pain this will be. I am planning on using a standard circular saw with a special diamond metal cutting blade ($29 Ridgid blade at Home Depot). Making the opening bigger is out of the question: don't want to mess with the siding or framing.
Will this work, or am I missing something? Thanks
