I Like to Make Things

Finally finished up on a repair job yesterday. Switched out a rotten roll up door for a regular door with a deadbolt lock, added a few shelves inside, replaced a lot of rotten wood and painted it. Got paid and now now I can take a few weeks off and relax. Happy Friday everyone!

Great rebuild. That'll stand the test of time against the elements, for sure.
@MyPathOfTotality Oh the trials of a structure out of plumb 😩. Uneven plaster walls, crooked door frames, non standard dimensions.
Tests the sanity and the will.
Even harder when working with a rotted base.

My grandfather could do that, eyeballing a job perfectly--no measurements or T-square used. The pieces fit like a jigsaw puzzle.
You crafted the lock nicely--that has my grandfather's hand in it...the memories. Paints up nicely too.

With those dimensions I'd probably caved and bought a new shed!
I noticed the door was nicely overbuilt, and fit like a glove.

@SethGreene531 I'm self-taught so that's pretty much how I do a lot of my measuring.
