jbw55 Posted July 27, 2015 Report Posted July 27, 2015 Removed the old pocket door in the dining room today and put this new one in......still need to do casings paint, etc.
Poisonfangs85 Posted July 27, 2015 Report Posted July 27, 2015 Looking good buddy! I really like the look of that glass.
ChrisK Posted July 27, 2015 Report Posted July 27, 2015 Can't wait to see the finished product! Looks awesome thus far!
Justin Hernandez Posted July 27, 2015 Report Posted July 27, 2015 Looks good, is it suppose to look like bamboo?
jbw55 Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Posted July 27, 2015 Thanls guy's......yes its to look like bamboo, the company is Feather River, they have some nice stuff....the glass is tempered and about one inch thick, heavy mutha.....
jbw55 Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Posted July 27, 2015 Nice job, love the door choiceThanks a bunch.....
Justin Hernandez Posted July 27, 2015 Report Posted July 27, 2015 With that heavy of a door I'm surprised you can use it as a pocket door, are you using just a standard door track??
jbw55 Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Posted July 27, 2015 With that heavy of a door I'm surprised you can use it as a pocket door, are you using just a standard door track?? No.....up-graded the glides and track, its recommended for 200 LB doors, this door is at around 110 LBS so I should be fine.
madman_us Posted July 27, 2015 Report Posted July 27, 2015 good job - i was thinking about getting one too but for my guest bathroom
jbw55 Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Posted July 27, 2015 good job - i was thinking about getting one too but for my guest bathroomThanks.....they have quite a few to pick from, choices from 5 or 6 different woods or primered ready for paint. Just a heads up, take a sanding block (fine) and give it a quick sand then re-prime with some good primer.....the primer used on most pre-prime doors is not all that good, all in all happy with the door.
jbw55 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Posted July 28, 2015 looks great. good job!Much appreciated.....
Maxwell Tyler Ray Posted July 31, 2015 Report Posted July 31, 2015 +1 on that door choice!!Jus did one 2 days ago myself..but boring standard panel door for closet lolI totally agree with pre primed anything is of lack luster quality but I've had great outcomes from a very very light sand and good thick coat of high qaulity paint..mostly valspar or sherwinI was jus warn of wiping any pre primed piece too much w a sponge or wet rag..will wipe primer right off:(..learned that the hard way lol
jbw55 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Posted August 14, 2015 Installed the base board and casings yesterday, also decided last minute to replace the left side jamb on the pocket door, it was beat up......today I painted the trim work, tomorrow will swap out the receptacles and switches then move the furniture back in.

Looks really good, make sure you put in tamper resistant outlets its code and doesn't cost that much more
