Update 5.20.13
I was trying to get the barn-door done tonight, no such luck but I did get all the ‘hard’ parts done. Here are some pictures:
Welcome to Idaho, I was tempted to try to drive under this!
Tonight's agenda was the barn door for the bathroom door. Nathan is a jewel, we measured up and cut the pieces
Laying all the pieces out on the ground to be welded
The beast that makes the magic happen
the REAL beast that makes the magic happen 🙂
Slightly off on one side so we had to take it off and re-weld it.
All right!
Then grinding the finish
and getting ready to cut off the bottom of the hooks
and the hooks all cut off, these will not be weight bearing, they are just hooked over a bar to make the door stand upright,
Tacking these in place, I just measured them out 6 inches from each end.
and the other
And placing the wheels, also 6 inches from each side, i wish i was able to find some skinnier wheels, these ones poke out on one side really bad, yet another issue to work through.
The are flush with the outside but the inside will need some craftiness to make them look intentional... hmmm
The pieces to the bar to hold it upright
And installed. I was hoping to get the wood in it too but it didn't happen. Tonight I work on the wood pieces. And try to get ahead of some more siding.
HI, Everything looks great. You could tack on a decorative cover. Jack
Thanks Jack, what kind of decorative cover though?? I may just make some sort of frame to go all the way around since it doesnt sit right against the wall, you could ‘almost see in from the outside… which isn’t very private for a bathroom… 🙂
Very cool!
thank you! you’re so nice!
LOVE the barn door! very cool. we used a ton of galvanized piping on our tiny house and it was so fun! sort of like round metal legos… great job Macy!
Totally is Lego-esque! 🙂 Thanks as always Carrie!
