Ah, but the flooring might have been compressed slightly by then as
well. ;-)

I think its plane on bottom of door time, personally.


That and rising butt hinges. I don't know why rising butts aren't
standard (they are here) thought as they make this issue of missing
the flooring (till the door is nearly closed and you don't want a gap)
nearly a non issue and means the door closes itself, handy if you have
dogs or kids that leave the door open when you want it closed (even if
not fully closed etc).

They also mean you can just lift the door off if you need to move
furniture in / out (if it give more room / width) or to paint the door
or frame (even if you also take the hinges off to do that, it's easier
to do when the door is on trestles).
