Last month I did a post on our war against dust in our apartment. You can read about this here. He commissioned our good neighbour, Mohamed to buid two doors for the indoor stairs. Read here if you wish
By the end of that day he'd hung both doors. The next morning he returned to make some minor adjustments and for the finishing touches.
Viola! Two doors closing out the dust and keeping in the cool air

Wonderful! You have some nice looking doors there thanks to your neighbour Mohammed. I sure hope they work well for you. I think dust storms like those where you are can get into the tiniest of cracks but it will help immensely to have the big openings closed off, and as you say, the doors will also help keep cool air in which is what you need.
ReplyDeleteWonderful workmanship, Jo - and so quick, too ! I'm sure you will notice a huge difference with keeping cool air in and dust out :) I also just wanted to say that your new blog header photo is lovely ....

Hi Jo! It is so interesting to see how things ar done in your country. Looks like your neighbor is a good carpenter. Your header shot is stunning! (Thanks I'm feeling better; one more surgery to go)
ReplyDeletedoes your friendly neighbour know that you are posting his photos?
ReplyDeleteMy husband used to be a handy man for my neighbor who lived by herself.
It's great that you have found such a marvelous carpenter in Khartoum. It looks like he did a superior job.
