Day Thirty Nine

Doors. These photos are not the best representation of what we want, for some reason you can't get door swatches, but they are there or there abouts. Also, the photo quality is poor because of the sheen on the brochures.

Exterior.


















Interior





























An all wood exterior door was the first option, but the Pennsylvanian climate of brutal summers and horrendous winters only means we would have to make repairs every two years - there's enough fun in these parts already for us to want to dodge that sexy chore. The fiberglass door is not going to happen - I've no idea what life on this small planet will look like in a thousand years, but a fiberglass door thrown into a landfill tomorrow will still look like a fiberglass door in a thousand years.

My research has taken me to the point that the best available option is wood in a steel coating. Because this is an office I think the door in the top photo, second from left, could work but with a built-in blind rather than grille.

The interior doors will be solid wood - imagine, perhaps, the final photo with five panels rather than three.

Today was a ride and a half. I'll leave the last words to the amazing Fats Waller, "One Never Knows, Do One?"
