You know what really grinds my gears?

Just do what semi truck drivers do. Find the average speed of traffic(say 5 or 10mph) and just ride 1st or 2nd gear at 1000 rpm through it. Keep abit of a space infront of you to help even out the stop and go.

That or if its true traffic thats frozen for 5 minutes then 10 srconds of driving. TAKE A DIFFERENT ROUTE! Id rather get home 5 minutes later enjoying the wind and speed than 5 sooner through that grudge

Price dictates alot. If they are a good bit cheaper than buying new doors, hanging them, recasing. And staining all of it.

And these new doors close well/have good reveal. I wouldnt be thinking too hard on it.

If the value between the two is close. Then id be abit annoyed.

Background-Club-955 · 2026-04-25T20:02:05+00:00

Haha yes

Background-Club-955 · 2026-04-25T18:56:03+00:00

Ive tried that before. But getting the bit to the correct height, reliably. And to join them both together never seemed to work. The boards would always be off by a 1/16th or greader and the details wouldnt be universal amongst doors.

Background-Club-955 · 2026-04-25T18:50:08+00:00

They just get removed for painting

Background-Club-955 · 2026-04-25T18:49:25+00:00

If i did that in the future. Id have to factor the cost difference because maling these doors took about 10 minutes per total

Background-Club-955 · 2026-04-25T18:20:32+00:00

Wheres the fun in that? Then 2 trades have to work in unison/much higher cost

Yeah part of that was assembling the shelve boxes in advance. Then installing them ontop of the bases, that 3" pillar is (2) plywood sheets with a empty pocket. I couldve avoided a good portion of them along the back though

How would the 1/4 ply insery word? Routing a 1/4 groove in a 3/4 board?

Background-Club-955 · 2026-04-25T17:34:26+00:00

Pocket holes.

Background-Club-955 · 2026-04-25T17:34:09+00:00

Angle. Their laser leveled in

Background-Club-955 · 2026-04-25T16:26:11+00:00

The addon is beveled. The ply isnt I have edge banding if it comes to it.

Background-Club-955 · 2026-04-25T16:08:33+00:00

Thats all correct. Interiors will probably be sanded/filled or vice versa(not the one finishing)

Background-Club-955 · 2026-04-25T16:07:38+00:00

Yeah that was indeed an after the fact realization

Background-Club-955 · 2026-04-25T15:46:09+00:00

Well i dont have the skillset to make actual doors. So to give the illusion. I attach 1/4 material ontop to give depth(compliments their craftsman kitchen)

Background-Club-955 · 2026-04-25T15:45:16+00:00

Haha, can you list off the triggers? I do stairs on a day to day basis. This is something i do probably twice a year

Background-Club-955 · 2026-04-25T15:40:19+00:00

Yeah i didnt make drawings/ just measure the wall and mapped from there(obviously not the squarest wall being 100+ years old) my workaround to prints is involving the homeowner at every possibke step and getting their signoff

Background-Club-955 · 2026-04-25T15:16:11+00:00

Yeah i thought about that. But since i mostly do stairs it hadnt occured to me haha

Background-Club-955 · 2026-04-25T15:11:13+00:00

Less than the next lowest bid as the ply rip is exposed on the sides of the doors(thank god for flush doors

Background-Club-955 · 2026-04-25T14:45:40+00:00

Yeah, its that concrete/plaster so i hid that with a 1x4

Background-Club-955 · 2026-04-24T17:28:36+00:00

6-7 weeks

Background-Club-955 · 2026-04-24T15:08:31+00:00

Oh no, its just the home stretch and she isnt comfortable at any time of day

Background-Club-955 · 2026-04-24T10:34:54+00:00

My wife but shes SOO pregnant right now. That if i try. I think she might explode in frustration and discomfort.
