craftsmanship of this fella, but then I don't want to give him a call
and say fix this ****, because I don't want to create competition for
my client.
The doors worked initially but now, not a single one closes. We have a
whopping 35% relative humidity because we use evaporitive cooling.
These are typical resi doors that come pre-fabbed with the jambs. They are
finished with a dark brown paint.

On the hinge side, there is a quarter inch of room on all of them.

That's a lot. Are the jambs perpendicular to the walls and door face? If
not, the door will wedge on it and not close properly. Your fix might be as
simple as getting the hinge jamb as it should be.


No, I think that slamming the doors so much has brought them off their
jambs. Seth and Jenny have a 3 bedroom house, where we play our bedroom
farce. There's a lot of door-slamming.

Ah, the jealousies and angers of life that keep handymen in business.
At least we don't sweep them under the carpet.
