Install door trim

I rent a house from a great guy who isn't around to fix things. We made a deal that the rent would be low if I would take care of the fixes myself. For the past few years it's worked out and I've done tons of little projects.

It's funny that there are some things that are wrong that you just live with. There used to be some trim in the doorway to the bathroom, but I've never seen it. Instead I occasionally stub my toe on the 1/2" rise and kept thinking that I needed to take care of it.

Well, I finally took care of it and here's how.

Step 1 Get stuff

What you need:

• Trim to go into doorway
• Saw
• Adhesive to keep it in place. I'm using Loctite Power Grab

The trim I got is made out of plastic as I figured this would be better for an area with moisture. It's a little short for the space, but I had to make do with what Home Depot had in stock.

That Loctite is great adhesive! I use it for things you wouldn't usually imagine, right off... It's like a big tube of liquid nails or Crazy glue. I have found Gorilla glue to be the absolute best, but it isn't cheap... Rob

I see what you mean about the trim not being wide enough, but from the photos it looks as if you could cut away the brown stuff that is sticking out over-lapping the big tiles - no? Great photos. Very inspiring project.
