So our barn door finally went up, and our children haven't tried hanging from it yet, so that's a good thing!! It has been an eventful week to say the least. John built the door and stained it over the weekend. Monday it was ready to be installed. We ordered a hanging kit from amazon, it arrived Monday. Soo John got started and stayed up till about 10 pm putting in on the tracks. (remind you that he starts his days at 2 am) So that was really late for a weeknight.
We were in bed at 10:15 to immediately be woken up by a very sick little baby.
John Thomas had shortness of breath with wheezing, and that terrified both of us! To the ER we went, dropping Heidi off at my parents house on the way, we still made it there pretty quickly. He had gotten much better by the time we arrived. THANK goodness!
It turned out to be a bad case of croup, which was causing his little airway to be inflamed and causing the wheezing sound. They gave him an oral steroid, monitored him, then we were on our way back home at 1 am. Fast forward 6 hours and we had a much better feeling little man. (Thank you modern medicine.)
We at least had a really pretty barn door waiting for us when we got home. John still managed to go to work that next day on only 2 hours asleep. What a trooper. I think he's Super Man!

Polly on the door.
hanging the door. yay!!
hardware to complete it!
My husband is pretty handy, so proud of him! I love the door and how great it turned out. Plus, it really does make a difference it cutting down noise from washer/dryer! 100% Babe!

lumber was purchased from a local lumberyard, it turned out to be much cheaper than other stores
If anyone is interested in measurements just message me. I'll have John add it all up for ya. We might be putting a second door in our master bedroom going into the master bath. It's still lacks a door, so well see!
