Toot

Written by wedge on 2025-01-24 at 21:56

The upstairs bedroom has the access to what is currently the ‘back attic’. It’s a small entry about ¾ the size of a normal door, proportionally. It has two particle board doors on each side of the casing. The external one is unpainted and bears mold. The internal one is painted and clean. I intend to make a proper door for this entry in warmer weather if we don’t find a used one first.

Until then…

I shortened (due to new tiling) and repainted the internal door (formerly purple) to match the finished room and stripped the hardware of paint. It has three hinges, drop on style. The door has been off for about a month and now a bit warped, about 3-5 mm. I can't line up the hinges.

I'm going to try clamping and screwing a flat, stiff board along the length of the hinge side and see if that can line it up enough to get it on. Else I remove the middle hinge and hope the shit wood holds.

Meanwhile, tonight, I’ll but some weight on it and see if that brings it back enough.

And that’s the end of a 13-hour day.

The weight trick worked. On it two seconds.

I need to shave off another mil or two, though. Still slightly kissing the tiles.

But this saved me some time. Lot’s to get done today.

@wedge

Some warm vapor could be helpful.
