The Door

Seeing that we have a Cape with a shed dormer leading to the loft with the normal roof our ceiling height upstairs isn't the best so sometimes we have to "adjust" things to make them work like the door to our loft bedroom. It couldn't be a regular door because it would either take up half the landing area or swing out into space in the bedroom. We decided on a sliding door without a pocket made to look slightly like an old barn door on a track. It uses wood salvaged from the old collar ties in the loft and scrap wood from the bead board ceiling. Geometry while fun and interesting can be quite painful at times:)

Still some more trim work around it, but the door is done. Click on the pictures for a larger image.
