I really think we've bitten off more than we can chew. I like do-it-yourself projects, but installing a new window and a new door isn't as easy as it looks.
我真的觉得我们有些自不量力了。我喜欢自己动手做项目，但安装一扇新窗户和一扇新门并不像看上去那么容易。

This new double-paned one is going to be great and it'll slide open and close easily, unlike the old one.
这个新的双层玻璃肯定不错，滑动式的开合十分方便，跟旧窗户不一样。

It'll work once it's installed. Come on, give me a hand. Hmm...the new window doesn't seem to fit exactly.
等安装完就可以用了。来，帮我一把。嗯…新窗户似乎不太合适。

I'm not sure what the problem is. Let me think about it. Let's move on to the door and come back to it later.
我不知道问题出在哪里。我先想想。我们先安装门吧，一会儿再回来弄窗户。

Sure, I'm sure. Installing the new door will be easier and we can get it out of the way.
当然,毋庸置疑。安装新门更简单，放心吧，我们可以解决的。

Maybe we should wait until the window is installed. If we can't finish installing the window and the door before nightfall, it'll be a very cold night in the house.
我们还是安装好窗户再说其他的吧。如果我们不能赶在天黑前把窗户和门安装好，晚上会被冻坏的。

Don't worry. Let's see, first we have to remove the old door without damaging the jamb. The hinges are rusted; it seems to be stuck. Oh, I think it's finally coming off.
别担心。我来瞧瞧，首先我们必须在不损坏门框的前提下拆掉旧门。铰链生锈了;门好像被卡住了。哦，它总算掉下来了。
