Very nice door. I'm not 100% sold on your hinge placement. Usually it would be more like 1/6 - 1/3 - 1/3 - 1/6. and extend past the center line.
As long as the thing keeps the barbarians, white walkers, Greyjoys, and Lannisters out you are golden. Where'd you get the sun, by the way? eta: sorry, it's like nails on the blackboard.

When I tinker with my house, I imagine the people coming after me and hope they aren't cursing me. The truth though is that the next owner will bulldoze this place. The land is too valuable for a house like ours.

Heh. Maths.
 You havum snow, white man? (careful comma) Property values only fluctuated because of gas here. Land was $600 an acre forever. We are a little too far from everywhere, which is cool by me.

Thanks Zip.
Longer hinges would be better but when you salvage you gets what you gets.

I love the door. Love curved doorways, even though they're a pain to construct. I also want to visit Grifftopia someday! I would absolutely love to see a TempCast woodstove and baking oven. And that beautiful woodwork.
 Actually, I may be moving by next year ... maybe have the chance to incorporate a TempCast into a new place? Maybe, if all comes together.

I made something on Saturday. The old black soaker hose had sprung a few huge leaks, and I had similar poor luck with the previous one, so instead of buying another one, I made a new one out of a really old hose we had. I chucked the smallest bit I had into the drill press and drilled clean through the hose and out the other side, once every inch for about 25 feet. Then I capped the end. It works really well.

Just got back from a pal's house where we concentrated 4 gallons of corn/barley beer into a more portable and longer keeping form. It's now about 1½ Qts. Tastes pretty yummy. I may make a small oak barrel to store it in. There's another 5 gallons that has to be reduced as well...
