Old Doors and door ways...

[Just smiffy]

I don’t know what attracts me to intriguing doors, perhaps it’s the nosy in me to see what’s on the other side or who lives there...?

Feel free to add...??

We had a customer request a really nice old door be sourced and fitted to his extension on his lovely old house. My dad and I went on a search of demolition yards, decades before they became fashionable. He it the jackpot with a truly gorgeous carved oak door and frame, which was way too big and heavy to load in the car, so paid extra for delivery
The next day, a lorry duly arrived at the site and the 2 men started to unload the door, frame and a lorry load of oak panelling and framework. Dad had happily paid a premium price of £250 for the door and frame, not knowing it was all part of an entrance lobby for a big old church, and the whole lot was a package

The customer was delighted with the door and frame, the rest ended up in our yard and workshop. 6 months later an ideal job came in, needing character oak panelling for a very posh house and what we would now call a man cave. that earned us a good chunk of cash, and another delighted customer

there was still odd bits and offcuts of oak laying in piles in our workshop and even those were snapped up by a carpenter who sub contracted for us and paid cash for what to us had no use

I love a good door (and windows)
You can tell a lot about a place based on its doors

Ohh that reminded me of work too... I repaired a sash window almost exactly in that state too..?

Very satisfying though...

Some great doors there. Proper craftsmanship and built to last instead of all this modern PVC rubbish.

Moto is a motorbike, so unless it’s very wide, it should be fine.

Agreed except the older round sign above refers to voitures. Maybe covering all bases
