Isn't it aDOORable?

Yup that's right we now have some doors on our camper.  Well 2.5 to be exact.  The  ultimate goal is to have four but man are they time consuming to build.  Every time I pick up my tools and start working on this project I think why oh why did I decide to insulate this thing.  The decision to insulate meant the walls and doors need to be framed out with 1x wood and then skinned on either side with 1/4" luan plywood with 3/4" thick insulation filling the spaces in between.  Had I opted not to insulate, the walls and doors would have been cut from 3/4" plywood shaped up a bit and installed.  Yeah...that would have been a lot easier.  Oh well hopefully come next November when the mercury dips below freezing we'll be happy we've got a bit of extra protection from the harsh weather outside.

 The use of regular residential door hardware also added a bit more work but saved some money over other alternatives and allowed us to have both doors and the deadbolts on the bike garage all keyed alike.  

The doors had to be reinforced in order to work correctly with the standard hardware.  

 And the trim was added around the outside to provide a location to install weather sealing.  I also think it gives the doors a nice finished look.  

This weekend hopefully I can wrap up the bike doors, do a preliminary install of the rear hatch to check for fit and operation then start focusing on utilities.  All the while Jess should be able to start focusing on getting some painting done on the inside.  Last weekend she did a wonderful job of bondoing all the screw holes both inside and out which unfortunately was a very long and boring project.  Time to get busy.
