This weekend’s project was building door stops for the cellar door and installing them on the jamb. I ripped each stop from a 2×4 and then cut a kerf to accommodate weatherstripping. I couldn’t use standard moulding because the latch side of the 5-inch-thick door is beveled so that it can clear the jamb. That bevel makes it narrower on the inside and necessitated a 1 inch thick stop on that side. Next time I’ll give it a lick of paint. #ProjectWineCellar #wine #woodworking
This weekend I got the door and jamb painted, installed the jamb, and then hung the door with the help of my brother and a friend. With the door hung, it feels like I actually finish this project someday! #ProjectWineCellar #wine #woodworking
It’s been a while since I posted an update on #ProjectWineCellar. Current status is that I’m trying to finish up the insulated door. I filled my door frame with foam board insulation, added a skin of 1/4″ plywood, and then added trim for appearance. The result is a 5 inch thick door, insulated to R-21, that looks like all the other old doors in house. Next step: Hinges. #wine
I got the first layer of foam insulation installed in the door and sealed with spray foam (to form a vapor barrier). Trimming the spray foam took longer than expected, so the rest of the insulation will have to wait until next time. #ProjectWineCellar #wine #woodworking
