Round Track!!

Dad announced he was coming over Labor Day weekend, so I took advantage of his tall third person-ness to help hang up sliding door track for the new front barn door.  It took some doing, and a very understanding man at Harrrison Wholesale to get the Cannonball round profile track and associated parts trucked over in time.  I was told they couldn't get the universal bracket I wanted for the front doors from the regional distributer, but it was OK, as I ordered it direct from the manufacturer. And it looks good too.
      So the front gets the "fancy-schmancy bracket" (to quote the distributer). The back gets the standard no frills keyhole track & bracket. The back doors will be the existing front doors, only relocated. The front doors will be new bi-parting polycarbonate, 77% light transmission with a new wood frame. Should be much more light and a whole lot warmer in the barn this winter. Sure beats the old bedspread we threw over the door on the coldest nights last winter to cut the draft!!
