Swing Time


71 Craigs Clout "Tip this Time";
-Will be the Fine Art of Swing:
Yes, the fine art of Swing, this often occurs on some and really only annually on others.
Interior Doors require their due in our homes. For what they do-do. Whether it's the weather, Your saftey or just some tranquil "me time". Inside your home.
A property expert is Mary Ann when inquiring to buy. At this site:https://socalhomeownerscorner.com/shortcodes/contact-form/ I am an avid woodworker/R.O.I. Guy once a home is obtained
These moveable objects are ajar  and or frequently shut day in/out, depending on the moment, of coarse.
So Swinging it is, back and forth, back and forth, etc.
Now comes the proper install, hollow and inexpensive. Solid, heavier and more money mostly. Atiquated ones may need a new home somewhere, but , so Many variables and appearances too.
The pivoting suface that gets projected away from the wall side it is hanging in has the hinges and the other side should be 3 degrees beveled higher for an exact fit when installed.
Square, plumb and straight whenever possible but a seasoned craftsman type caregiver will work with every existing situation, and there is many to deal with.
Brand New ( is a gimmee) because you get to start fresh. This WON'T always be the case, So time to use the tricks of the trade and create the best end result we can. 3/16" th margin all the way around and 3 degree bevel for optimum swing clearance. Have fun and be careful without rushing.

Craigs Clout "Tip this Time";

Remain Flexible;

Each and Every worker will (with conscience observance) most certainly end-up changing their approach if they go back to see the cracking a few years later, no doubt. Sure, this needs quarterly bleaching (maybe) but because you're  alleviating that ugly black line that occurs while cracking then seperating where liquid enters.  Over time will serperate and cause further damage.
Being the R.O.I. guy with the Columbo like eye, I'm alway's pursuing improvements on your investing of Real Property. Mary Ann has got you anywhere for this, .......

So knowing why, it's simply put this way. The structual part of most walls are framed and stood with wood (my specialty). Expanding and contracting almost daily where as that cemention tile or tub adhered too it, (once dried of course) wont be moving, period. Now where they meet WILL crack and powder and make a mess. But if that particular surface can be allowed too FLEX or go with the flow so to speak. Like a chualking, that once completely dry WILL remain moveable when neccessary and alleviate the bogus black line. Every blue moon You just might need to deep clean like anything else.
Sometime soon we will talk about new installations @ toe-kicks! Same concept there with although with different materials.
