Yes, we're crazy

So the open house last weekend went OK - but we definitely didn't get the stampede we were expecting. Apparently it was "too" nice outside! People are so picky! And that leads us to our recent project. People are picky, which is understandable, but still a pain in the ass. We decided to finish our hall closet out with doors. We hadn't done this earlier because we very carefully made sure the height of the closet was standard, but we didn't think about the opening (duh). So it was 4 inches to wide for the largest standard bi-fold door. You can imagine how that felt. Oh well. So in order to fix it we had to rip out the inside piece of drywall - cut some of the drywall out of the opening and add some more structure. It's ready to paint tonight and E already has 1 door up and just has to hang the track for the second. E also wanted to replace the closet doors since they're kind of jinky and out of shape. So he got those cut down last night and ready to install tonight.
