Gentlemen.

I am still in the process of covering up the gaping hole in the back
bedroom wall after removing the studs and siding in order to shove the
Bridgeport into its new home.

In order to prepare for the day I might want to take it OUT again I
embarked on a grande scheme to install 36" "french doors" in the
hole. I have framed in the opening with 4" channel iron. Now I'm
installing and trimming the two steel doors. I'm slow as molasses in
the winter but I do good work what little there is of it.

By the time I'm done the doors will be about as secure as doors can
be. Then I will resume work rewiring the house and installing the VFD
to drive the mill.

As slow as I move y'all should rejoice that I'm not on your payroll.

Steel doors framed with 4" channel iron, yes! I'd love to see the
faces of the SWAT team that tries to bash thru that with their door
ram, nevermind the burglar with the prybar.

Don, if it's the SWAT team I'll just let 'em provided they say "pretty
please" and the magic password. But the burglar guy is gonna just
have to work hard lfor his keep just like the rest of us. V

LOL, I can't remember how many times I thought something would be a
short project and upon finishing, I reasoned that at "50 cents per hour"
nobody could afford it.

The "worst" is when somebody else thinks it's easy (like wife....), my
usual response is "yea, lets open the box and see if it just miracles
itself there and works".

"Father" Darwin Power owned a welding and machine shop in Bass Harbor,
Maine and had a reputation as a story teller. He once told me, "Bill
was the best man I ever had working for me, he was so slow he couldn't
screw up a job before I could stop him."

Some keyword spamming here since I don't find anything about Father on
the 'net, and he deserves a mention:

Ned, Two others I like a "If you want a job done right give it to
a lazy man".
I think I read a "byline" in here that said. "Laziness is nothing
more than resting before you get tired". V

While you are probably committed to the door idea, what also can be done in
these cases is to make a removable wall section that is held in place with
pins rather than going to all the fuss of hanging swinging doors.

Hi Roger. I actually gave serious thought to that. I opted for doors
largely for cosmetic reasons. V
