Garage Doors Update - Specifically, Poor Planning(?), for now

Mar 12, 2017 1 Replies

Well, I got the one set of garage doors hung and discovered a problem. *I still need to install the door knobs, locks, etc.



I widened this doorway to accommodate rolling my telescope "cart" through. *The cart is a transport for the telescope: Large Size Universal Wheele y Bars, with the 10" wheels -

The room behind the garage was once a hand tools shop, but I don't use it a s a shop, anymore. I, now, want to store the telescope in this room. Beh ind one of the new doors is a wall cabinet, a shop cabinet. The cabinet i s preventing the door from opening all the way, hence, the hinged edge, of the door, is within the doorway. I had widened the doorway, enough, to al low for 1" of space, on each side, for the cart. With the door not openin g all the way, the door makes for that 1" spacing to be negated.



I'll have to remove the wall cabinet. I hadn't anticipated this problem a nd I'm not looking forward to removing this cabinet, i.e., more work. I d o have a work bench-corner cabinet, behind that door, that I did plan to re move, so not all may be so bad, as it seems.... just a little frustrating a nd further delaying the finishing of this part of the project.



Maybe not quite poor planning, but certainly an unanticipated consequence. There is a wall cabinet on the exterior wall, also, so I'm considering removing it, as well, rather than widening this doorway more, than the othe r.

Well Sonny, the bright side is being able to use the telescope any time you want to, uninhibited. Glad to hear you are getting it all finally set up.
