The door on the right needs a bit of sanding, it hits the inner door pillar and just prevents a good close. The plan for tomorrow is to sort that and then trial fit everything, hoping to have them hung by tomorrow evening. Then disassemble and oil the oak and think about catches and handles.
The package of bolts got damaged and sent back, so they're repacking and resending. Fair enough.
I'll not do any more sanding, rather I shall fit the doors and get them right, then remove and make good. Starting Friday.
The hinge post fits nicely, slightly above the floor, which gives me decent clearance for the door. I'll fill the gap with PU sealant once all locked up.
The only delay is the bolts. I'm getting a bit annoyed at these suppliers that don't track their delivery, their stuff goes missing.
Seems an ideal use case. One thing to watch for is the length of the spring.
You can get springs that are a lot longer than the kits provide. 2D and 3D refer to the diameter of the fixing.
The current plan is insulated plasterboard for most of it. About 40mm thick all told.
The plasterboard will be sandwiched between the original elm bash panels and the exterior using coach bolts in stainless. That should be good. I might switch that around in places.
Did you ever have a job that fought you the whole way? This step is certainly one of those jobs. But, it's in now, I'll seal the edge then I'm going to tidy up and stop. Done enough.
It's a tax on the lower classes, doubly so, as 8ob points out, as they have to pay more for everything. And there'll be no NHS services/nurseries/etc as the staff can't afford to live in the area
