Install a Pocket Door in a Jiffy
Let's say you really want a pocket door but there's a pesky heating duct, a plumbing stack, a massive structural column or something else hidden in the wall where you want the door to nest. Guess what? You can still do the door!
All you need is a sleek wall-mount door kit. This technology is time-tested. All you have to do is talk with any farmer/rancher who has massive barn doors that ride on wall-mounted tracks. Installing a regular residential door is nothing compared to the large doors that have worked well for many years for farmers and ranchers.
If you can create the opening for the door with no hassle, you can have the door project completed in a weekend.
Check out the wall-mount pocket door hardware from L.E. Johnson. That's the company I use for all my pocket doors.
Tim Carter LIVE and FREE in New Hampshire this Weekend
This is a quick reminder blast about the FREE Live Event I'll be at in just two days! It was brought to my attention that the newsletter you just got two days ago didn't go into enough detail, especially if you're a new subscriber. I keep forgetting that each week you may be part of 1,200 or so new subscribers that jump on board the AsktheBuilder.com Newsletter Express.
Here's the deets (details :-> ).
I'm going to be at a great kitchen cabinetry showroom in Lebanon, NH this Saturday, October 16th, from 10 am till Noon. Come see me at Cabinetry Concepts at 227 Mechanic Street, just off Interstate 89. While there, I'm going to discuss briefly the top three questions I get at AsktheBuilder.com week in and week out. You'll be surprised what they are.
Then, I'll begin to take your questions about your own home-improvement issues that you may be faced with. That's what I used to do on my radio show for 12 years - answer live questions. It's lots of fun. I urge you to bring photos of your problems. That makes it easier to diagnose the problem. If you want me to review plans for one of your projects, I'll do that.
Not to mention that the folks from Cabinetry Concepts will be there to answer any kitchen or bath design questions you may have. Oh, and guess what? There's a ceramic tile and flooring store that on one side of the Cabinetry Concepts store and on the other side a lighting showroom. You can see the latest of just about everything you need for an upcoming project.
But it gets better. Why should you drive perhaps 200 or 300 miles to get to this event? The door prizes and coupons we'll be giving away are amazing. You WILL walk away from this event with some very valuable coupons, potentially worth thousands of dollars, and you MAY have some sweet tools and other loot to take home. I've gathered well over $2,000 worth of tools and gear to giveaway as door prizes.
Everyone who attends the live event is going to get a special coupon from Plato Woodwork for a discount on new kitchen or bath cabinets. Kathy and I are using Plato cabinets in our new kitchen here in New Hampshire.
That's how I came to know the great folks at Cabinetry Concepts. This coupon could easily be worth several thousand dollars if you have a major kitchen remodeling on the horizon. I'm not making this up.
In addition to that, here's what I have right now sitting in my truck waiting to go up to Lebanon this Saturday:
- Metal Pegboard and hanger accessories from Wall Control
- Free Tile Installation books from Matt Seillig
- Tomboy Tools Toolkit with Lightish Red carrying case PLUS the electric mini-driver!
- Gorilla Glue samples, Gorilla Tape, Gorilla Gear
- Dremel Trio Tool
- Two FREE 5-gallon pails of Extreme Defy Deck Sealer
- Two FREE 5-gallon pails of Extreme Defy Masonry Sealer
- Dremel Multi-Max Tool
- Worx 16-inch electric chain saw WG303
- Craftsman Lithium Ion Right Angle Impact Driver
- Campbell Hausfeld Recreational Inflation Kit
- Campbell Hausfeld Home Improvement Project Kit
Furthermore, Cabinetry Concepts is putting together some prizes for the first so many people that walk in the door. Bottom Line: LOTS of LOOT and LOTS of Free Answers from me.
I'm sure we'll hear your lamentations if you miss out and don't make it.
Seriously, I haven't done an event like this in years and have no idea when the next live event may be. You deserve to come. Treat yourself to a day in the Upper Valley of New Hampshire.
Please email me or register at the Cabinetry Concepts website so we know who's coming.
