What a fight Maw but we won . And no i did not get the chainsaw out. First off the chain would have never made the first ten inches . The nails that they put this old house together with must have been made about the same time that they put J/C on the cross and talk about a HARD NAIL let me tell ya they were hard. Now years ago when we first started working on THIS OLD HOUSE one of the first Carpenter tools in the power line was a GOOD 7 1/4 saw then as Black and Decker Commercial sawsall the super heavy duty one and a man with a Sawzall is dangrous well back to them thar nails that held that door in it ATE three vary good high quality blades tryen to cut thru the nails just wiped the teth off , now these same blade will buzz thru 3/8 flat stock steel like butter but not the nails . Took a lot of figuren and massuren to get this winder roughed in . Now i should not have to much of a problem trimen out on the inside but the outside may make do some fancy wood worken as installen a window that was made for modren const. and tryen to make it work on something buit back in the mid 1860 when a 2x4 was just that and siding is a full inch and the unusual lath that was used on all the outside walls that is 1 inch thick poplar toung and groverd dovetailed from floor to ceiling makes for some well thought out wood butchern and sure glad that i have some real nice toys down in the basement . And Oh yes then there is them 3 1/2 inch finish nails that have been in there for all these years , they were all i could do with a Super bar and at time i was sure that i was going to break it with the force being applied . Those finis nails are of about the same dia. as a 12 penny oh yea then there is the Cut nails that are a good 5inches them is some tough stuff they will dull the hacksaw blade.
