A new door on the old barn

Hey Pops, hey Joe, you'll never believe what we did today.

We put a new door on the old Shop.

I think you guys'd like it too. We contracted the local handyman, who made the new one from scratch as the old door and frame were, well, um, not exactly done according to industry standards. He made it out of new wood, and boy is it solid. I'm surprised myself the old door stayed up so long. Between you two back in the day and me and Phil lately, well, it had been scabbed over so often the hinges should not have held up from the weight. Even at that, it had become so loose that it could have easily been ripped down.

Yeah, I hear ya. We were afraid too that a new door would stand out, making folks realize something was going on in the old barn and attract their mischief. So what'd we do? We took the old boards off the outer layer of the old door and nailed 'em to the outside of the new one. From the street, it looks like an old door on an old, maybe abandoned building. From inside it looks new and purty. Smart thinkin', eh?

Yep, there's a new door on the old barn. Shuts tight too. As I say, you guys would like it.

Until next time,

Marty
