Yet another question. Any carpenters out there who can tell me how difficult it would be to extend a set of front doors by about 15 inches? The top 1/2 of the doors should be a glass panel (no glass right now–the doors had none when I bought them), and I just want to extend the top of each door and put in a longer piece of glass, rather than building a transom. From what I can tell, this means attaching an extension on either side piece around the glass, and re-attaching the top piece, and putting in a longer piece of glass. Does this create too many seams in the door (a join in the side panels…), or would it work?

thanks in advance.
