Front Door

The work goes on, the front door project is now almost complete, we have fitted the door and now it's in place.
You will have to wait for a picture of the 'masterpiece' as I havn't had time to take a picture, so as soon as it stops raining...

It was a bit of a mission, as the door is 1400 x 2200 and very heavy, with only a tolerance of 2mm all around.

Mrs DIY came up with the cunning plan of how we could move it with small rollers (cutdown steel waterpipe)and a big piece of carpet.

The fitting went well as soon as we got it in position the door dropped ito it's pivot points - perfect, the door doesn't have hinges but pivots on 2 stainless steel bearings, top and bottom, I must say the design works beautifully (mine!).

The next stage is to complete the entry porch, this should be this done this weekend.Posted by Picasa
