I've changed out an exterior door to one with built in blinds and didn't touch the door frame. That required some work where the hinges go on the new door. I think I did pretty decent. Could have chiseled a little deeper as now it slightly scrapes on the latch edge.

I'd really like to avoid doing a pre hung because that means I need to rip apart the trim, caulking, repaint and I don't have a nail gun and shims to install a door frame.....Doing some hinge work and flipping the door slab just seems the most simple....as long as I know the door slab will still work before I start. I'd hate to do all the work only to find out that the door doesn't close properly.
