TAKE THOSE DOORS AND JAM THEM

As all or our followers recall, Steve once said, and I quote, "I never want to hang a suspended ceiling again".  Well he did.  He also said he'd never fly in a helicoptor, and he did and now, we can add this to his list of "won'ts"  He never wants to hang another door and I don't blame him.  Hanging a pre hung door is 100 times worse than putting up a suspended ceiling.  As usual, I was the helper so I usually ended up on the dark side of the door because we had no lights while we did this.  Perhaps that was the problem.  With every door it seemed to get worse.  Thank God for the wood shim.  I'd love to find Mr. Shim and give him a big old kiss.  We hung four and by the time we got to the last one it was getting better until I got my fingers pinched between the casing and the wall.  Leave it to me.  I was also stuck on the inside of the closet with no lights.  As Beaver used to say, "I was a-scared". 


We have one door that we both insist is defective.  If you believe that I have a bridge for you to buy.   We have four hung and have three more to go.  We should be able to polish those off in an hour or two and now that we have lights and electricity, it might make a difference. 


Hanging doors is just horrible.  I can speak for Steve and myeself by saying we will never hang another door unless we have to.  Maybe....

As you can see, Steve has completed one door and was ready to put on the lever handles that tmatch the rest of the house.  Well, this usually goes without trauma however, you remember the defective door?  He put the knob on that door and shut it to see how it was alligned and it was alligned just fine until we couldn't get the door open again.  We literally locked outselves out of a room with no lock on the door.  I invisioned Starsky and NUT trying to kick down this door.  That in itself would have been worth replacing the door and most likely a trip to the ER.  It's been a hoot.
