I forgot to mention with all the excitement of the dining room floor that when we tore the carpet out of the dining room it also meant that we’d finally be able to see the pocket doors between the living room and dining room. With the carpet out of the way the doors should be able to roll freely… we hoped.

Once the carpet was out, a tug on the first door brought it, and 30 years worth of dust, out with a smooth roll.

We’re weren’t as lucky with the second door. I’m guessing the back roller is off the track. I know I’ve mentioned it before, but it seems that each project I mark off the list creates at least one or two more. Maybe some holiday downtime will offer a little adventure in pocket door repair.
