The architect uses this photo on their web site as the intro to this project. After she saw this photo on the wall of the architecture firm, a gal named Stephanie Meyer wanted 27 large doors for her carraige house. She apparently wrote some books about werewolves and vampires in Forks Wa. Called Twilight series. There were movies made too. Anyway I'm glad she liked them. I had 4 kids to feed.
These are very similar to the fourteen I'd built for our stable just two years ago.
I used white oak but the design is nearly the same.
Mine slide vs. being hinged and the top "half" is railed vs. solid.

I never had four kids but with eleven horses to feed, well, I understand why a man does what he has to do...
