Saturday

 

After lunch, John, Toby, and I rode downtown in the golf cart to the marina.

The breeze and the views were great! And we brought our own shade.

We watched boats come and go.

Today's project was to work on the closet door. We managed to remove it easily.

We inspected the pivots and guides, cleaned the tracks, and used a plumb bob to see if the upper and lower pivots lined up correctly. They were off just a bit, so we made an adjustment in the bottom pivot, which raised the door enough on the right so that it no longer scrapes on the bottom track. However, we are missing the roller on the bottom guide. There's just the pin in the bottom track. It scrapes on the sides of the track when opening and closing. I did research online. There are replacement guides available, but the roller has to be installed before you install the track, and our track is cemented in with the floor tiles. I could remove it, but it would be a huge mess and I'm not sure I could reinstall it without messing up the floor tiles. We decided to go with the improved door closing and not try to make it perfect. 

I heard back from my cousin in Georgia about our closet design. Above, is the footprint of the closet.

Kim and Bruce proposed the design above. The image on the left is the long wall; the image on the right is on the short wall. They recommended leaving the curved wall blank.

So, when you walk in the shoe shelves would be first on the right side with shelves for folded things next. No hanging space on this side of the closet because it's so narrow.

On the long wall, on the left, they proposed upper and lower hanging space (green lines) with a stack of open shelves between, as shown above. Nothing on the back wall.
