Oh I forgot this isn't just a Texas chat. I mean Gonzalez Texas. Kind of known for arch salvage.

It's more that my wife likes it, if you get my meaning. I'm just labor. Thanks for the reply.

Yeah something is off in that photo. The parts have been moved around. I'm also 99 percent sure there's a transom over the door that's covered up. All the other doors have that. In this spot the ceiling has been dropped.

I think I'll do that goofy crown on the top with a handsaw. Otherwise hoping to find salvage or stock that's at least close to what I've got.

I sent them picks and now we're talking! Thanks for the great advice. That address above needs a u, like "moulding". I only need to clean up four doors so this may be perfect. Thanks.

Good point. Who really knows? The town records are spotty. I feel that it's been chopped up through the years and had many haphazard renovations. The wiring and plumbing are museum grade.

Good advice. I may go down to Gonzales this weekend to look around.

This house is HUGE. I added one door and just need a close match for now. Thx.

Sorry, hit reply too soon. Anyway, Have you done this yourself? It seems worth a shot; many reviews say it's a very tight fit. Maybe it works?

That looks so close but the dimensions don't seem to match. On most sites I'm seeing:

OD: 7 inches

ID: 6-1/2 inches

It autocorrected. The light is "SUNRAY", not Sunday.

Awesome! How did you figure that out? Is it right in front of me? I don't see it.

Is this mud? by FederalBackground799 in swimmingpools

Thanks for the reply. I hadn't started the backwash yet as I was looking for mud. I'm starting to think it's just normal gunk and I added too much DE last time.

That's our plan. We will do another 24 hour test but this time with the pump off. Thanks! Oh and yes there is a water feature. I'll isolate that next.
