adventures in our first house

the Doors

I actually worked on TWO projects this weekend. I haven’t done that in quite a while, and that’s because the lights took a lot less time than anticipated. Let’s face it, every time I do something with electrical, I realize I have no clue what I am doing and it takes far longer than anticipated. Since this time around I had a little more time, I decided to start another project. Key word…start. We have these broken, ugly and annoying closet doors for our main coat closet.

I decided to take them down and replace them with a six panel style to match the front door. I knew I wasn’t going to have the time to paint it, but I figured I would get it up. That I did, but then I realized a slight problem. The closet opening is actually two inches wider than the door. That really wasn’t my mistake, because the largest door Lowe’s had was a 36″ door, and in reality, I thought it would work. What threw me off was the little metal strip to the right of the door, which concealed that gap. So, the door isn’t finished, but I have come up with a solution. After this coming weekend, I promise I’ll have finished photos of the door…but I thought I’d give you a taste as to what we’re doing. Nothing big…yet.

 

Key word…YET.
