So I had week off work. Was going to do a couple of small projects for up coming market. Wife sends me a picture showing me a door corner ornament. Not going to lie went Etsy found some laser files, used those as a foundation for Christmas ones. Then as I am in the middle of that do Halloween ones. Argh! Tried both 1/2 and 5mm plywood and 1/16 bit cobwebs breaks every time. Hey I’ll use my laser! Smaller but Halloween ones were done on the Ultra…she ‘snatched’ confiscated a snowman but she did do the face and belly buttons on them. A monster has awaken lol!

Neighbor has a two story house with up and down options when you go into the foyer. At the bottom of the stairs he installed another door with a lock to keep the kids out of the basement. 10 years ago he and his buddy did the ceiling down in the basement. The house has a I beam that runs across the center. This beam was used for the HVAC vents and such. So it hangs down from the ceiling. They went around this with some framing, it hangs lower that a typical doorframe. So of course a typical borg doorframe will be too tall to let you open the door. At the time they half wit cut a door and frame but never filled in the cut at the bottom of the door. The door finally failed, might have been helped along by his kids playing king of the stairs. So I had him rip out the mess and started from scratch. Used 1x6 I cut down to make the frame and used the cut off for the jam pieces. Bought a door and cut at the top so the predrilled handle stayed at the correct height. Then took a 2x4 and cut it down to the correct size to put it between the skins and glued it in place. Last thing I did was space the lockset side to the door so the spacing is correct. Nothing fancy but now the door comes 1 inch below the ceiling obstruction. At 74 inches you need to be short to not bust your head open. Thankfully everyone at his place is under 6 feet. Not the best of lighting, I have that to address for him next. As for the painting, that is his part of this project. If he works at his normal speed, maybe 2 years. I installed all the doors upstairs last year in March, still not painted.
