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.
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. 🙂
It did turn out as pretty as can be. I love when hard work turns out just right. :dance:
Thanks. Me too. :cloud9:
Looks very nice. Upgrades the whole building.
Thanks. It certainly enhances the barn for me.
Nice! :up:
Thanks. I’m particularly well pleased by the fine quality of the workmanship that went into this project. 🙂
