This side past times side pic is how the rail for the sliding door was installed, yous tin banking concern check that post correct HERE.
For the door I wanted to utilize reclaimed wood, together with I had been looking for it for months without whatsoever luck. As a lastly option
I contacted a individual that sells it, but man child o' boy, that was expensive! Around $4/linear foot, at to the lowest degree for the boards I wanted - So, this wasn't an selection anymore.
Just equally I got rid of the catch of buying the reclaimed wood, a Craiglist promotion appeared alongside this picture:
They were free!
:D
Talk nearly happiness.
The promotion appeared on an eve when in that location were raining cats together with dogs, together with then I allow the individual know I was going to live in that location to pick upwards the woods root affair inwards the morning time the next day.
Guess what?
When I arrived side past times side morning time the woods was GONE! :'(
I was disappointed but I knew these things happens. Whoever comes root takes the prize. I wasn't that upset because it was real closed to our home.
My side past times side selection was to become to a thrift shop together with banking concern check for woods or onetime doors. I invited Mr. RLC to become alongside me to this new to me place together with WOW!
They own got hundreds of doors, windows, shutters, cabinets, etc. etc. Look at this.
Those doors were impressive together with they weren't the only ones. The prices, sadly, weren't within my budget.
I didn't accept many pics, sorry. I was looking for my door or wood, though they didn't own got much wood.
These are some of the things that caught my optic at the entrance.
However, deep, deep within the shop I saw this light-green gal.
The width of this door was precisely what I needed - 48". It felt pretty sturdy - It's a enterprise woods door. The only work - It didn't own got a price. :/
We were told that the individual who assign the prices was withal searching this form of door to come upwards up alongside a price. They couldn't sell it in that location at that moment. We had to hold back for them to telephone yell upwards us afterward on during the calendar week to give us a price.
I kept looking roughly together with saw another big doors but their prices were upward $450. So, I didn't driblet dead along high hopes on the light-green door.
We went abode form of pitiable without a solution for our door, this was the only honour that came abode alongside us. I honey the tiny lights on it.
So, for the doors I decided to purchase novel lumber together with construct it. Remember all the beautiful sliding door ideas I posted HERE? This is the 1 I wanted to become for.
Since my flooring is going to live nighttime I wanted the door to live non equally nighttime equally them. Here I was trying some stain combinations.
And here, one-half agency the staining process.
But, simply ii days agone spell on the middle of staining the boards, nosotros got the call. Yep, they finally laid the cost on the light-green vintage door: $200.
It was agency less than nosotros expected, together with yeah, you're guessing it. We went to pick her up!
Yesterday I gave it a skillful cleaning, facial expression at how muddied it was.
The pigment is peeling off almost every where on 1 side.
This lower corner is the 1 alongside the most impairment but considering nosotros involve to cutting it a bit, lengthwise, to represent inwards the space, this is non a problem.
I honey the rusted onetime rolling mechanism, equally good bad only 1 was left inwards place.
So, after cleaning together with cutting it. nosotros simply own got to install it. :D
I own got to create it this weekend. I involve the mister's help. This door is HEAVY. I cannot handgrip it alone.
Here is a pick of my garage. All those boards are the flooring. I've been working on that projection for a few duet of weeks, it's almost ready. The desk inwards in that location is also coming to my son's room.
Well, that's it. Those has been all the issues I've been having. In the end, I'm real happy, I honey that door! The other boards I bought I'm going to utilisation them for the construct ins roughly the bed.
Hopefully side past times side calendar week I'll own got the door reveal. ;)
