Thanks to help from a carpenter friend, I installed the door into my sunroom. So ends a thirty-one-year-long process.
I originally framed the door
opening in June of 1991. I could not
afford the sunroom at the time of my home’s construction and finished over the
opening, leaving a kind of “ghost door” opening inside the wall.
Last year, on June 20 (almost
exactly thirty years to the day of framing it), I peeled open the wall and
daylighted the opening.
And now a door finally fills
the ghost space.
The door I chose is mostly
glass, so I can bring in light from the sunroom when I want. But for those times when I don’t want the
light, the door also features blinds built into glazing.
