Our Board of Directors approved the purchase of three Kennel Clad guillotine kennel doors.\u00a0 You’ll know why they’re called that when you see the video.\u00a0 I ordered them and they arrived quickly.\u00a0 I spent my afternoon today installing the first one.\u00a0 It went into Rebel’s bedroom.<\/p>\n

I wanted Rebel<\/a> to go out into his outer room so I could open his inner door and work less encumbered by having to open and close the door every time I went in or out.\u00a0 But Rebel was having none of that.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>However, he perched himself on his bed and lounged there watching me work.\u00a0 He never got in my way and never tried to squeeze out the door with me.\u00a0 He watched intently as I worked as though it was the most fascinating thing he’d ever seen.\u00a0 He was SO adorable!<\/p>\n

There were several challenges to overcome.\u00a0 The biggest was the fact that the walls I’m mounting the door slides on are not even close to be being flat.\u00a0 Warping the rails causes the door to bind.\u00a0 I got around that by shimming the rails where needed.\u00a0 Fortunately, as a former furniture maker, I have a fair stock of ultra thin pieces of wood laying around to stack up for the perfect shims.<\/p>\n
