Framing the doorway from the garage to the Workshop. The exterior walls on the metal buildings are 8 inches thick. So this 8 inch thick door opening had to be framed and trimmed out before we could hang the doors.
First step was to solidify everything with a good stout 2x8.
What to use for the trim. Surely, there is something in the old trim wood pile that can be used. Sure enough just what Bill needed to do the job. This trim came from a rent house that had a door between the two bedrooms. Took that baby out and closed off the wall last year and now we have this great wood for our project.
They open and close beautifully.
The doors are wonderful. They just need the trim painted, door handles put on and a floor bolt to hold the door,we won't use often, shut. We are assuming we have some lever door handles in our door handle boxes that we will spray paint Rubbed Bronze to match the other handles in the garage.Would prefer not to buy new ones.
Shouldn't everyone have workshop doors that look like that. We will see these everyday when we come and go between the Residence and the West Wing to go to work when our businesses move out there. Because of that we wanted everything in the garage super nice.
