remodeling

We always seem to have a couple home projects going at any given time. With our house here in Redmond we've been painting and replacing moulding. Recently, Michael decided to replace the doors in the master bath and closet with some pocket doors. These two rooms are a little bit smaller and the swing style doors took up an extrodianry amount of room. The goal of this project was to install pocket doors that worked better than the cheap pocket doors we all know about that are constantly falling off the track, and also to install them without completly demolishing the wall. I found a company that does some high quality track kits for pocket doors, Johnson Hardware. And then I began the project like any good homeowner... by going to Home Depot and buying a bunch of power tools! I then ripped out half of the drywall (one side of the wall) and installed the new pocket doors, then drywalled over it, textured and painted, put up new trim and was all done. Well it only took me a couple months to complete, but it's now done and it turned out quite well I must say. And all just in time to put the house up on the market and sell all of my handy work. There's nothing like selling your house to force you to get all of your projects done quickly.
