Hello all. After about a year (it's been a year?!?) we are getting to the point where we are fully finishing off some rooms.
Case in point, with the stairs and baseboard installed and paint on everything that isn't nailed down (actually there's paint on everything that IS nailed down), we could install a new closet door.
The location made the door a non-standard height (platform a little too high, ceiling a little too low). That required some alteration, in this case shaving a few inches off the bottom.
We thought we were pretty clever to save the piece between the doors--the part with the small holes for some of the hardware. We used a few nails to reattach it and thought we were all set. Unfortunately our first attempt had a setback because the weight of the door put too much stress on the reattached piece and it collapsed up into the door. Our second idea was to run some short dowel rods and glue through the both sides and the reused part between.
Primer and a couple coats of semi-gloss white and a shiny new doorknob and we could officially proclaim the closet/landing area done!
Until next time.
