I have to say my door making skills need to be honed. The first door was great, 5/8″ ply all braced with 2 x 4’s and then covered with tvyek, trouble was it was too heavy for for one person to hold off the ground while the other secured it to the frame. Fast forward a few iterations and we finally got the door on, not a great job, but when the weather gets better, we’ll adjust it. When it’s 22°F (-6°C) tempers are short, but that was short lived. This is only a temporary door to keep the winter out so it doesn’t need to be perfect. Oh and we did finally finish off fastening the house wrap.
It was touch and go whether we were going to make it home from DM as a lot of cars were wheel spinning and getting no where. On seeing this we reversed and tried some side roads which weren’t as steep though we did indulge in quite a few very lax “Californian stops”, especially at uphill stop signs. Our trusty Toyota Corolla did a great job, admittedly we did fish tail a bit 🙂
We ended the afternoon with a beer at Rough Draft which is a fine beer and books establishment. If you’re reading this Kyra and Vanessa this is our project and it was great meeting you.
By the way what is nice about a snow flurry is that it’s tranquil – the snow deadens sound and not many cars are out.
