Ever since the TV home shows have been installing barn doors in all remodels, the big box stores have started carrying them and the requests for installations have been pouring in to every carpenter in suburbia.
I figured I would wait out the fad and in 10 years I'd make a fortune taking them out after people's frustration in using them overcomes their overwhelming urge to be trendy. After all, they aren't really any different than pocket doors other than the fact that they are much easier to put back on the tracks when they slip off.
Well, I resisted as long as I could but finally had a client who really wanted them in a closet build-out I was doing in her basement converted-bedroom.
The client enjoys finishing, so she's going do the stain or faded paint finish of her choice, and pick out handles.
BTW, the yellow spot on the ceiling behind the left can light is the reason I never use power tools to cut holes in ceilings. There is a water line resting on the drywall going straight through the center of that spot. :-) I had to move the cans further out in the room, which turned out better anyway.
