I'm finishing up some house remodeling projects that were started when we moved in 2 years ago. I had a contractor (who was also the realtor who sold us the house) do some work, including installing 60" pocket doors where a 36" swinging door had been. At one point I owed him something like $300 and he said, "I'll pass on that 300 if I don't have to come out here and trim out this room." Sounded good to me.
Wrong
Once I got into the project I discovered why he wanted out. When the doors are centered in the track the one of the left leaves a 2" gap.
Even after adding a 3/4" filler the left door doesn't fit the hole. I'm going to have to fudge the right hand door to move both doors left and add 3/4" of fill to the right hand door. When I close it up it looks like it will JUST fit. What a PITA.
