I just hung six interior doors at my sisters. I like hanging doors. There is some art to it, and it is a metaphor. I hung all six before I realized, these are not the solid wood frames my sister ordered, they are cheap trash composite. I will make it work, but really? This was a custom order. (My mistake too, a little out of practice contracting.)
Then we opened the bi-fold closet door boxes. Compressed MDF, sawdust compressed and glued. Two of the first three were too damaged to install. Didn't bother opening the other four.
They sent the wrong trim. The sent the doors a day early, we weren't ready. They didn't send all the doors.
Thanks for a beautiful reminder of a time when people truly cared about the built environment. Stunning, compared.
Those beautiful images - those unique doors! - do make me happy just looking at them. Thank you for sharing.
