Door Frame for Furnace Room

Well, it has been cold here, and we have some snow -- it is very pretty out there, though not ideal for working in an unheated house...

I was able to get most of the frame made for the two sets of double doors of the furnace room.  This room will house the furnace in one side and it will hold the plumbing manifold, water softener, bottled water system, and, eventually, the central vacuum system in the other half.

Because that area needs to be warm, I am insulating it from the garage, and so, I am going to actually make doors to fit this area, and I will put insulation inside of them instead of normal hollow core doors.  I am building these for under $200 for the frame, doors, insulation rather than trying to find these prehung.  Since it is the garage, I'm not all that worried about what it will look like, but we can paint them just to cover up the imperfections -- since I'm no cabinet maker!

Here are some pictures of the snow and the door frames.





And, we did make some progress on the dog house also...
