L Swearengin Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 As I'm working on this rehab of the van burn, I was thinking I might take the front doors off to work on them. From the exterior it looked like easy task right? Nope. Apparently the house was in a not so safe neighborhood. While playing with ideas for the foryer i took some pictures. The front door is barred!. Yep put a bar across the two doors. I posted a photo on my van buren pinterest page. It's circled in blue. Now that's a problem getting to it without damaging the doors. Oh bother 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalesq Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 By any chance are you planning a haunted house? The door could be barred to lock the spirits in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beulah Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 That is so strange. It looks like it was built into the wood like that. It doesn't look like they would open. Weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L Swearengin Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 It is added. I have been looking on line for instructions to build this to see how it was put together, or SHOULD have been put together. It is actually fairly sound. I think it spent to many years in storage with no sealer on the wood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I couldn't tell from the photos, are the doors hinged to open? If it were me, I'd be sorely tempted to remove them and make replacements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L Swearengin Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 No hinges, glued pretty good. Gonna take some effort. Tiny space in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodentraiser Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 OK, Lawanda - I thought you were talking about a real house for a minute. I don't know why I was having such a problem comprehending your post. I thought for a minute you were going to tell us when you got back to your van, it had been stolen. I think I need a little more sleep. Being up all night will do that to you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
