Hello all, just wondering if you could provide any advice on something that's been bugging me for the last couple of days.
I installed a replacement composite door into my garage last Saturday, when I was plumbing up the frame I noticed that the entire wall was off plumb by maybe 3/4 inch. I decided to install the frame bang on plumb instead of parallel with the aperture.
I'm looking at it now and thinking it looks like the door is leaning back in the aperture and it just looks a bit wrong. The door looks to be leaning back maybe half an inch over its length - but it isn't, the wall is off!
I could live with it but I hate doing a half baked job, so I could tilt it slightly outwards to match the outward lean of the wall. Everything I've read so far says install the door plumb though.
So what do we think? Should I have installed it off plumb to start with?
If I do move it out a touch I'd have to do it properly, i.e. fill the drill holes with mortar, wait till it sets and then re-drill the brickwork using the same frame holes. So might take a bit of effort.
