I woke up this morning with a dread in my heart.I had to go tear down the old crawlspace access door and put up a new one at my In-laws house.At the risk of sounding paranoid,I think someone built this house to torment me.Every project I have ever done there tests me in some new way.The house was built in the 1960's and is fairly well built.It just seems a minor problem turns into a major headache when I work there.
I pulled out my tape measure this morning and new it had got me again.The opening was 38" wide at the top 39 1/2" at the bottom.65" tall on the right and 66" on the left.The left side was 1 1/8 from plumb and the right was about 1/2 from plumb and they were running in opposite directions.
Im glad my MIL was in the house when I telling the house what I thought of it.
There was no way to shim the opening and make it look right so I had to cut to fit and it turned out pretty good just a big headache to measure and layout.
