McGraw
Barn Door
In place of this
opening was once and old wooden and heavy Garage Door.
Always difficult open and not very weather tight. The owners
asked if I could build some swinging doors in it's place?
And so below is design I came up with to solve the issue and
give this old Farmhouse a door that depicts a "period look"
from the 1800's. The wood being use is a Fir tongue & groove
material. Everything was custom fitted...right down to
hardware function.
