ok so we are back tafe for another two weeks.. its wednesday and for the last few days we have been looking at hanging doors, fitting skirting, fitting door locks and made door jambs. we all made the door jambs together and fitted them in our little framed house. we had a door opening each and worked alone to get the jambs to the correct size then levelled. i finished first so was the first to start hanging my door. it proved to be a little tricky because it was my first ever attempt. the door came up alright when i hung it, the only problem was when i marked my hinges onto the jamb the door fell down a bit leaving a bigger gap at the top of the door.. i will know for next time:)
after i finished hanging my door i fitted a lock onto a fake door (piece of wood) and that all fitted fine. i then went on to do the skirting, i enjoyed doing the skirting and it came up well i think. i am now starting to hang the double doors.... so i'll let ya know how it all goes. catchya
