A new homeowner in Northeast Portland wants to correct some previous remodeling foibles.
Such as this pocket door that leads to what is probably a previous breezeway between the house and the garage that has been walled in, but remains un-heated .
As you may or may not know, pocket doors do not make the greatest barriers between heated and un-heated spaces, so we open the wall, remove the pocket structure,…
…fill in with the requisite wall studs, insulation, re-seal the wall (drywall) and install a new door-jamb assembly.
The classic model 55 5-panel wood door with raised panels is the perfect match for this era of house.
