A new door

The big barn door that we use the most, has been a problem.  Frost, ice, drifted snow can make it very difficult to slide the door open.  I’ve wanted to do something about it.  And finally did.

Stage one complete

The contractor lives on our road, but on the other side of the Interstate (no bridge on our secondary, dirt road).  He had to frame in a new doorway–the original doorway was too wide for a standard size door.

Stage two — Finishing touches

The final step was to install new steel on the wall and trim around the door.  The new overhead door works like a dream.  And it looks good too. 😎

Job completed.

Perhaps, if I save $$ for a few more years, I can replace the other door.  Maybe even install an opener.  Nah!  No need for those frills.

  1. Nice! No opener? I think you gotta save and get one of those too. It’s nice to be able to zip in and out without having to get out.

    • Opener? Perhaps later. It is a barn door and the only thing I’ll drive out of there is the tractor with whatever implement or perhaps the trailer. 🙂

    • Thanks. I’m particularly well pleased by the fine quality of the workmanship that went into this project. 🙂
