Ever since the TV home shows have been installing barn doors in all

I figured I would wait out the fad and in 10 years I'd make a fortune
taking them out after people's frustration in using them overcomes their
overwhelming urge to be trendy. After all, they aren't really any
different than pocket doors other than the fact that they are much
easier to put back on the tracks when they slip off.

Well, I resisted as long as I could but finally had a client who really
wanted them in a closet build-out I was doing in her basement
converted-bedroom.

The client enjoys finishing, so she's going do the stain or faded paint
finish of her choice, and pick out handles.

BTW, the yellow spot on the ceiling behind the left can light is the
reason I never use power tools to cut holes in ceilings. There is a
water line resting on the drywall going straight through the center of
that spot. :-)
I had to move the cans further out in the room, which turned out better
anyway.


Looks good!
