I can deal with frustration of many things regarding contractors. But this is the worst ever. I nearly cried, and might still.
The doors are being refinished and re-hung. Double doors 1 Active, 1 Passive.
Originally the Passive door had a bolt post in the bottom. I never liked that the door was kind of wobbly esp. at the top where there was no post.
so it was agreed the numb-chuck crew would route a spot at the top for another bolt post.
Today I checked on the work and wondered two things, Why didn't they start the finish coats? And why is there so much saw dust over here by this door when the only sawdust should be over there?
Well, they took it upon themselves to route out spots for two bolt posts on the active door. I'm having trouble uploading a pic of the "work", around five inches long and about 1" deep.
I know structurally it'll never be the same and it probably won't ever look quite right cosmetically but is there a procedure for "filling" this? Save the sawdust and mix it with Bondo? But because its so large any "filling" should be done in layers so it doesn't crack (like joint compound)? How about reinforcement embedded in the "filling". Maybe some rebar?:beer:
There is no wind in my sail today.
