Yesterday my Dad was over and we re-hung one of the closet doors. Solid with that big piece of mirror on it means it's heavy. We still have a bit of adjusting to do with the hinges. They need longer screws to reach through the jamb into the jack stud. And some tweaking to prevent the door from rubbing on the latch side of the jamb as it opens and closes.
The other door didn't get installed because I cracked the jamb while trying to take it apart. It's from a wall that was a little thicker than standard so we needed to take it apart to rip 3/4-inch off the back side. Of course, they used half-a-dozen common nails to hold it together - so I needed to use too much force to get it apart. And I split part of it. Nothing a little carpenters glue won't fix.
The rest of the day we spent installing base shoe. And we got one room done. That room is ready for Luke to come spray the woodwork!
