Our next project was one that has been on the to do list from day one. If you will recall when we bought the house apparently the doors were negotiable. The upstairs balcony door (an exterior door) was missing when bought the place so we took the door from the downstairs bathroom and the insulation from the water heater and plugged the hole. It's worked quite well so far but two months is enough. The new door installation was relatively simple the tricky part was that the rough opening was shorter than a standard door. I opted to "adjust the rough opening instead of special ordering a short door. This required sawing through the log exterior. We were planning on using a chainsaw but chose the more precise option of a circular saw from both sides. Dad has crazy circular saw skills which is good because I probably would have tackled it with the chainsaw, spent all day whittling at it and still ended up with the wrong size of hole.
Anyway this is how it turned out. Maybe we will get a door knob in a few months.
And of course the bathroom door got to go back to it's home too.
