There is no rabbetcut in the frame shown in this figure, the screen door being designedto hang on the edge of the outside casing, as indicated, the casingbeing made thicker in order to receive the door. This figure is let-tered the same as Fig. 340. The section taken vertically through the head of the door framewould be the same as the section through the jamb, but the sectiontaken through the sill would be different. Fig. 342 shows such asection. Here, A is the sill which forms a part of the rough fram-ing of the building, and rests on the foundation walls, receiving thejoists which are shown in the figure at B. L is the line of the outside. Fig. 342. Section through Sill ofDoor Frame Fig. 343. Another Type of Construc-tion for a Door Sill boarding, C is the under flooring, and D is the finished flooring.

The line H is the line of the porchfloor, if there is any perch, or there may be a step with the face asindicated by the line K. G represents a screen door.
