    Wonder who came up with the idea of folding doors?

    I hope they are in prison.

    I think I have an hour in re-hanging two and I have 4 more to go.

    I know this one!!!!!

    It was Stanley Polinski. Many think he started Stanley Doors. But no that wasn't him. Polinski was the accordion player in a Polish Polka Band in Toledo Ohio. No he is not in jail. He now has his own band and can be seen playing every Saturday at the Ukraine Hall in Utica New York.


    Look it up. Its on the internet.

    I hate hanging doors.

    I have replaced all the doors in this house I'm redoing. Some fit some don't. But I had to buy slabs and put locksets and hinges on them to match the frames in the house. BTW James. One set of folding doors and the SOBs are warped.

    ya done yet James - people whom are techinacly incompentant are the only ones whom have trouble hanging bifold doors

    Personally I have hung about 10 sets from scratch and it took me about 3 hrs for all of them

    Ya know Penquin

    You are right about pigs. That little piggie here must weigh 25 lbs. We will fight in the living room. Then Lulu will walk off. Then come back and fight some more, even with some dancing to go with it.

    I hear Ford is going to put bi-fold doors on it new redesigned E-series vans. The executives feel this cost cutting move will save the company from going bankrupt. They also plan on replacing rear disc brakes on trucks with a boat anchor. (old 351 blocks)

    There's TREACHERY AFOOT!!!
