Showing Me the Door
Mar. 24th, 2024 02:56 pmWe've lived in this house since 2011. One of the issues with the house ever since we bought it (and factored in when we did so) was the master bathroom door had a couple of holes in it. Shortly after we moved in, during the first year when I was still living full time in the Bay Area, Lisa bought an replacement door. When she tried to install it, the hollow-core door broke in her hands and was a write-off. Ever since then, we have lived with the damaged original door, but we haven't liked it.
Today, we decided that it was time to finally change things, especially as I received a 10% off coupon from Lowe's. Lisa and I measured the old door, went to Lowe's, and confirmed the measurements against a solid pine door, and bought it. It's pricey (about 3x the cost of a hollow-core door like the one that failed a decade ago), but less likely to break when you put your hand on it.
Installing the new door is a project for this spring.
