As I was about to mow the lawn on Tuesday, the crawlspace door fell apart in my hands. I was going to replace it this fall along with my shop doors, after the workbench was done. Turns out I was intended to replace it sooner.
Took some leftover SYP from my bench project (which seems to bend if you look at it) and processed it through the jointer, planer and table saw again for the frame. Picked up some 4" OC plywood siding for the panel. Project took about three hours or so, but felt a lot longer because I postponed lunch. Also, some of that time was spent trying to incorporate my new mortiser to make the grooves, but that didn't turn out so well. 3/8" dado in the table made short work of it. Tried to use pocket screws to speed things up, but they didn't hold in the pine.
Turned out okay. Will be caulking, priming and painting as soon as possible. The opening isn't perfect, which is why there is gaps. Weatherstripping will take care of that.
