Installed the doors this morning. I aborted the installation last Sunday, because I didn't want to take the chance of scratching/denting them trying to reach my lumber rack by myself. Today I had the owners help and her pickup. I'm always nervous, even though I measured three times. There's just no room for even 1/16" of error. Luckily they fit perfectly.

I think that I already mentioned that the floor is out 1/4" just in the span of the two doors. You don't feel it, and certainly can't see it. However, if I had cut the door bottoms straight across, it'd be very noticeable. So instead the left side is 1/4" longer than the right side, and I cut that angle to match the floor. That gave me a perfect 1/4" gap at the bottom of the doors. I hate when interior doors have a giant gap at the bottom. As these solid Oak doors are heavy, I installed 3" brass screws into the hinges on the framing side. These reach into the studs and not just the jambs. Then I used two inch screws on the door side of the hinges. This will guarantee no sagging over time.

Moar funz...

TRON: Ares by Nine Inch Nails (2025) https://album.link/jq5ws98zwg6sx Example: Good not great for me. I think I could make a pretty nice listening set by making a shorter playlist out of the 20 tracks. I will see if my interest is piqued post movie.

I decided to not crop and let the center point just be off. Yashicamat is hard to get centered photos with. I find it charming. expired portra. About 10 years.

For those in the Bay Area, the Fraenkel Gallery has a Katy Grannan exhibit titled Mad River, portraits from Humboldt. Small (it’s not the main show), but great.
