   start-to-finish pics, or just pics of finished installs?

   Started a closet build this afternoon, old home and it's going in the end of a hallway where an old wood-burning stove sat.  Framed the RO and will be finishing the job tomorrow, hanging the rock, installing jambs and casing, then a bi-fold door.  Be fun to take pics for ya.

   So watch want?

   eh, insomnia.  How about a pic of the bottom of a pocket door?  Gonna dig some more up, got plenty of pics on my comp, question is where I put em.  One day I'm gonna organize my pics so I can find things, and maybe if I'm really ambitious I'll name them (gasp!) and put together a portfolio to show clients (double gasp!).  Actually that sounds like a job for the wife.  FWIW:

   Do want pics of pocket doors done to industry standards, or would you like to see the ones in a new house I'm working on now? Bottom of header is 76"....

   I need a dump truck, baby, to unload my head

   I had good intentions.

   these must be hiden in the computer somewhere ... as they're digital ... and they're printed! Cept I can't find them ...

    

   just got back from a presentation ... saw them in one of my books ...

    

   thot I'd scan them when I got home ... trouble is ... I can't get the pic's outta the damn book! They're heat welded in ...

    

   here's the best scan I could come up with.

   I was all excited to tell U to notice the casing is dropped to hide the metal track of the upgraded Johnson hardware ....

   Hope this isn't too late.  This is a triple set of bypass sliding doors for a bedroom closet.  I veneered the luan slabs with 1/4" maple cabinet plywood to match the maple floor.

   I can shoot you higher-res pix if you can use them.

   I thought about your post last night because the wife and kids got trapped briefly in our master bath - the youngest slammed the door hard enough to kick the back end up and catch on some trim!

   Recently installed Bi-fold and Pass-by closet clear pine louvered doors.

   You might also want to checkout the Hafele, Johnson and Grant websites for hardware pics and techniques. The slider hardware I used has anailer attached to it so that the casing conceals the head track and lines up with the adjacent swing door, as opposed to having a valence or the track visible.

   Right on about the websites...haven't got there yet but I'll check it out.Power point is new to me;I know most microsoft programs so it shouldn't be too hard...have to pull this together for July 18...and like anything I do, I'm striving for excellence :>) Thanks!silver

   If you need those pics in hi-res I can e-mail them to you. Pocketdoor install techniques have been discussed in the past if you search the archives. There are some novel ways of building the pockets other than the traditional ways that the Johnson kits supply. For example a common way here in NYC is to use 20Ga 1-5/8" metal stud lined with 1/4" luan on the interior faces.
