Laugh or cry...

I've decided hanging doors really isn't a job I enjoy doing. Before today the verdict was still out, but today has confirmed it: I hate it.

I've been battling all afternoon to hang the spare room door so we can scrap an old one which is in the way most of the time. The first frustration was when I was planing it down and it suddenly dug down too deep and took the veneer off down to the ugly chipboard underneath. I was just about at the point where it'd close without fouling on anything when I came to the devastating realisation that I'd hung it on the wrong side!! It's the way most modern doors would open into a room, but unfortunately the way I've hung it blocks the light switch.

Not all is lost however as the door should be the right way around for our bedroom when I come to replace that... Always look on the bright side of life!
