After we installed our new front door the different sizing of the old framing (89 x 40 inches versus the new frame of 82 x 35 inches) left quite a scar in the stucco on the exterior perimeter, something had to be done. The result is in the series of photos attached and one that I am proud of. It’s made of white pine and it has concealed screws that would allow me to remove it if required. Fun project!
