The door

I don't know how it'll stand up to the elements, but here's the door. The core is 15mm plywood and on either side there's 1X6 red cedar that's been ship-lapped. The frame around this cacophony is also red cedar. The door is the standard 44mm thick and just a little shorter than I would have liked coming in at an even 2m.
 The combination of utility knife (suggested by my father), trimmer/router and chisel makes a clean, easy job.
 The Forstner bit for the door handle (54mm wide) would only fit in the mini-drill press as the shaft was far too wide. At least I didn't have to worry about drill straight.

 Practiced installing the handle, so as not to screw up a week of working on the door. Did I mention that I cut the exterior door frame 3cm too short? Never rush a one-off
.
Here's the housing/chimney for the stovepipe. Currently, there a rain cover, but when the stove gets installed there will be a collar. I'm a little concerned that the flashing at the bottom is made from a different material and appears to be staining the roof tiles after only two weeks. I'll look into it, but I predict I won't like the contractor's answer.
