m together with hence happy to partner alongside Rockwell tools for the completion of this projection BEST HOME Install Trim Around Door Niche

I'm together with hence happy to partner alongside Rockwell tools for the completion of this project. But, I'm to a greater extent than than happy to know that 1 of yous tin endure the winner of 1 of their awesome tools!

I'll utter to yous well-nigh that inwards a minute. First, let's utter well-nigh this project. This was 1 of those 2 inwards 1 projects, where you're to a greater extent than excited well-nigh 1 of those said projects, but inwards lodge to achieve it yous take to start tackle the 1 that's non that exciting.

This is how the entrance of my sleeping room used to look, this is from the within of the room. I ever wanted to install molding all only about the niche only about the door (kind of a deadening project). Lately, alongside all the organization I'm trying to seat into this room, I decided that a jewelry box would jibe perfectly inwards this infinite too.

So, I straight off laid upward to work... Trim + Jewelry box, of course of written report the jewelry box was the fun project.
But, start things first... The skinny cut only about the door together with the baseboards were removed.

Using 1x3 together with 1x6  the cut was installed only about the door, move yesteryear together with left side of the entrance. The excogitation for the jewelry box was to possess got it installed inwards betwixt the studs on the correct wall, concealing it alongside the trim. My son's sleeping room is on the other side of this wall, no take to worry well-nigh H2O lines, opposite to the other wall where in that location is a shower, a pipage must endure running all along that side.
Even earlier I began installing the trim, I knew in that location was a stud correct inwards the middle of my futurity jewelry box, I decided to move only about it.

Just to brand certain the wall was clear (besides the stud inwards the middle!), using the Rockwell Sonicrafter X2 1 minor opening was done on the Sheetrock. Everything looked OK. :)

Since I couldn't run across yesteryear the other side of the stud, some other hole was done to clear things upward on that side too, but ho-ho, non together with hence fast! Two pipes + a traverse slice of stud were inwards there. :(  I was surprised the stud finder didn't betoken that stud?! Perhaps the fact that in that location is some infinite betwixt the slice of woods together with the drywall made the stud finder larn silent?  I was together with hence glad I didn't cutting through those pipes! This is the perfect representative of how prissy is to move alongside the correct tools :)  Cutting the drywall alongside the Sonicrafter X2 was real easy, I laid upward the speed at a comfortable like shooting fish in a barrel speed together with I didn't force the blade all the agency through, puff... it was scary to run across those pipes. I assume those are some form of air pipes, the principal air duct is similar 2 feet away.

After finding those pipes inwards the wall, the jewelry box projection got cancelled. I ameliorate uncovering some other wall for this.
My side yesteryear side motion was to unopen those holes together with popular off on installing the cut on that side of the wall.

The in conclusion business office was to install cut all only about the front end face, the skinny cut taken from only about the door was re-purposed here.

After caulking, sanding together with giving everything 3 coats of paint, this is how it looks:

It's been a long ride alongside this sleeping room makeover. I even together with hence take to pigment the doors, modify the hardware, supercede the carpet, install the baseboard together with decorate all around.

Hey there!

It's been a long calendar week of function together with withal I own got naught to show, that's why I lay this post together to give yous an update on how things own got been rolling roughly these parts.

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. ;)

Yeah, I decided to operate out it amongst the chippy paint.  You tin cheque my previous post to read most how I institute it, in addition to all the saga going on trying to build/find this door.

After a actually skillful cleaning - it was super dingy - I applied clear in addition to nighttime wax on all sides to protect the wood. On 1 side at that topographic point was to a greater extent than peeling of the pigment than on the other, I decided to showcase the beaten upwards side.



After cutting the excess length, it was fourth dimension to install the hardware.
The solely affair nosotros needed was a span of these Box Rail Trolley Hangers, they come upwards amongst the screws you lot postulate to mountain them to the door.
You house them on your wish spot on the operate yesteryear edge, grade the location of the screws in addition to drill the holes.
You also postulate to opened upwards a hole at the operate yesteryear edge, lower painting present below, nosotros used a 5/8" spade flake there.

This is how they'll expect when installed.  Your door needs to hold upwards at to the lowest degree 1-3/8" thick for this variety of hardware. It's much better/easier amongst 1-3/4" thick doors.

I'm thence glad to cross this off my to practice list. ;)  The installation of the rail in addition to all the components is non difficult. The hard role for us was dealing amongst the heavy items, first, the beam nosotros installed for the track, in addition to and then the heavy door.

This rail makes noise, it's non a loud noise, only if you're looking for something super placidity this is non for you. After all, this is the materials they usage inwards barns. The toll for this hardware was unopen to $110, for how potent it is I intend it's a keen deal.
