I’ve got the new cellar door nearly complete now. It’s all assembled and stained and looking great. I haven’t figured out how I’m going to attach it to the cement foundation yet; it won’t be that difficult to figure out the fixtures that I need. Basically after removing the old rotted door, I need to bolt the new framed-out door to the concrete sides, and voila!

I was thinking of covering the door in copper sheeting and perhaps stamping something fun into it. But alas, it turns out copper is fracking expensive. It would cost upwards of $300 to buy the amount of sheeting that I would need. I’ve thus decided to use brass nails and create a cool design in the wood door. I crafted my design, printed it out, and taped it all together today. In this picture, I am standing on a chair and taking a picture of my template on the floor. I’ll place the template on the door, pound a nail into each pixel, and then tear away the paper. This is the first time I’m trying this technique, so I’m not sure how it will come out. I’ll let y’all know!
