uh, different, lower-case doors.
After a bit of inclement weather (and some side adventures,) it is time for the doors. But how does one hang a door single handedly? Call up a friend. Rob to the rescue!
I wanted the doors to be nice and wide so I could bring in wheelbarrows and a rototillers easily. Also wide enough to come out of the doors with an overflowing crate of produce. (oh yeah, it's gonna happen). Lastly, they will serve as super large vents on either side when this thing is going in the summer. The big end-venting doors, combined with the roll-up sides should give me good environmental control, and allow hot air to rise out from the ends. All this without any electricity! (no air moving fans here). These doors are ~4' wide ~7' tall.
Rob and I framed two doors flat on the ground, and made sure they were square and stable. Then stood em up for display.
Then we carried them over the end walls, shimmed the bottom of the door with sticks and rocks to close the gap at the top edge of the door. A quick clamp worked well on the hinge side to keep that side of the door parallel to the frame. A few screws, and a bit of digging below the door, and we're up!
Now we're really ready for the roof. Thanks Rob!
Hooray for the Foley work force! Looks like Rob was much more helpful with the doors than I was with the pantry subfloor. :)
