What are the steps in installing brick molding for exterior doors?

First you will need to purchase the brick moulding. This come in wood or a composite plastic or vinyl You will need to prime and paint the wood. The composite will cost more but will last much longer. You will also need a miter saw to cut the 45 degree angles on the moulding. Measure the top piece first and cut both ends on a 45 degree angle. Nail it on with galvanized trim nails or small head trim screws. Finish by measuring and cutting the two side pieces. Apply in the same manner as the top piece. Be sure to caulk behind the brick moulding before you install it. After it is installed, caulk where it joins to the exterior of the jamb.


How can I pull off a hang nail without getting in pain?

In short the easiest answer is no, there is no way to pull off the hang nail without it paining. Hang nails are caused by dry skin around the nails which can be caused by nail biting, constant hand washing or some skin conditions, keeping your hands and feet well moisturized will help reduce your chances of getting a hang nail. To treat a current hang nail try soaking the hand or foot in warm water until the nail is softened, pat the area dry and using a pair of clean sterilized clippers or nail scissor clip the skin, add a dab of antiseptic cream and bandage the area.
