Doors

I wish I could have taken photos while I was building these, but I was in a bit of a hurry and as previously mentioned, the camera on my phone was very limited. I made the door custom to the fit the opening, which is a rough opening for 48" french doors. I have a friend who is an iron worker that let me use his welder and shop. They are constructed from welded 1 1/4" steel angle with aluminum sheet for skin and some steel mesh on one side. I have since added a baffle of sorts that prevents the wind from blowing all the chips away from that door, but still allows a low intake for ventilation. They're mounted directly to the studs with 3" screws and the hinges are welded on. the stationary door is pinned in place using a barrel latch and the bottom his held in place by a bolt dropped into a hold drilled in the block. The plan is to paint them eventually.
