I always had softbrick doors too which weren't too difficult to work with.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07960400186962033610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1293810450091997880.post-52011555438397089352009-01-10T05:59:00.000-08:002009-01-10T05:59:00.000-08:00Are you sure you are up for bricking up the door? ...Are you sure you are up for bricking up the door? You really shouted the glories of the door on the old kiln and how great it was for your back/body and now you are coping-out for additional manual labor? Now seems to be the best time, unless you foresee yourself dismantling and adding this on. What does the wife and family say? Seriously.EFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13640429524318450682noreply@blogger.com
