for me, I'll use a door pan from now on. Make the homeowners feel good.

I always used lead for door pans and copper pans for windows (when the job required)

This stuff is bullet proof IMHO, both doors and windows, passing the IECC2012 is not easy and this stuff helps with that also.

I had a strange install the other day. Had Scott (yj1990) working with me. Client wanted to have new pre hung front entry door replaced without having to remove or disturb existing exterior trim.... So this meant installing from the inside... And the client had provided the door, so it was a question of if he left us enough room to do it when he chose the size. Fortunately when we pulled out the old oak threshold the sill showed absolutely zero signs of having any water contact. and no caulking or pan. It did look like a hand hewn beam, but was only a half inch thick over the joists. Tried to use a new 1/2" on top of it but unit was too tight. Caulking was our chosen option. (ugliest door I ever installed)
