Bathroom door

The original door of the ground floor bathroom was in the kitchen. This was odd so we moved it to under the stairs. I am happy with the fact that Mr. M was able to save the existing door and the frame. It takes longer and can be tricky but we saved a tree! Doors can be really expensive. Sure you can buy something in pine, moulded or hollowed for 100 euros. I have used pine doors before, painted them, used a nice handle but they still look cheap and don't really block any noise. So this time, I decided to splash on oak doors. Those are between Euros 400/500. Ouch.... So you see why I am happy when we can rescue old doors...

On the subject of doors, I do have a bunch of old doors in the garage but they don't have the frame. You cannot buy the frame already made in Lapeyre (www.lapeyre.fr - nationwide anything-wood merchant), since those doors have odd mesurement (not the regular 80 or 70 cm), so you would have to employ the service of a menuisier and that would probably cost in the region of euros 300/400.
