Four down, three to go
Tim bought a table saw a few days ago, and has been itching to use it on something. Our doors were too long for the new carpet, so we've been needing to trim them. Tim decided we would be doing this today with the table saw, even though my handy-man friend told me not to do it with that blade, and that he has one he can bring over here.
The first door didn't go so well, and it looks a little rough at the bottom. Fortunately it's the door to the master bathroom, so nobody will see it unless they're in my bedroom, and only one man is allowed back there. I used painter's tape to prevent chipping on the rest of them, and it worked. They look good and we got them the right length. We still have three doors left to trim, but the saw cut itself off midway through the last one, so we're letting it cool down for a while before we finish.
The people who installed our new carpet did a shitty job. It's kinda hard to see their mistakes until you start focusing on the bottoms of the doors and realize how the carpet isn't quite even throughout the house, and how they didn't really pull it tight or tack it down well enough in a few spots. I'm halfway tempted to call the people we bought it from and tell them they should stop referring their customers to that guy for installation, but doing so would just piss me off more, so I'll just let it go.
Sweet Tea chewed halfway through the shop door a year or two ago, and the dogs we have now finished the job. They got all the way through it. :sigh: When you fix one door, someone tears up another one.
