In A Real Jam

In my infinite wisdom, I used expanding foam to seal the voids around a door jamb, and then reinstalled the trim. Later, I discovered that the foam had expanded so much that the door had become tightly bound in the door frame. My wife had to push while I pulled just to get it open. It took hours to remove the trim a second time, then chisel out the excess foam so the door would function again.
