Coolest thing ever.

Our concertina door arrived today from Taoyuan. These three fellas had a long drive to get here to do it. The road between Taipei and Hualien has been closed for about a week or so that meaning that the whole construction of the house has been slowed waiting for them to arrive. If you look at the photo below, you can see that the concrete work can't be finished around the door area meaning painting and other finishing work and therefore the floors can't be done until this door was finished. But now it is in but the glass won't be installed until the exterior and interior painting is done.
終於!!!
新家的重頭戲"丹頂鶴摺疊門"終於來施工安裝啦!!!!
原本預定上禮拜三來花蓮施工
但是遇到蘇花坍方
所以只好給他延了一個禮拜
千盼萬盼..........終於盼到了^^

今天安裝進度稍微有慢一點
因為延長線不夠長
所以剛開始先用手動組合
辛苦= =
之後老爸救了他們
借來很長~的延長線給他們順利施工

等待中.....



These were the only guys we could find in the country that could do this door for a reasonable price.
目前一樓地板還在打底階段
摺疊門離地的高度約7~7.5公分
當復古磚鋪上後
地板會高6公分左右
所以,我們的摺疊門只會多出1公分
這樣就不會有門檻太高的問題
視覺上還是會有開放式的感覺



That little doo dacky helped make sure it was straight. I think it is a spirit level for the 21st century.
摺疊門共有六片,每兩片一組,這個是每組的門把

That's a door handle.
先請師傅幫我裝上一組摺疊門
讓我些試試及說明注意事項
因為實在無法全程待在現場監工
明天早上去看成果
再po完整的照片^^


In total there will be six of these panels. Two open to the left and four open to the right meaning on good weather days the whole door can be completely opened blurring the line between indoors and outdoors. And that's what we were hoping for as just beyond this door will be a big patio.

I am gonna go back to the house tomorrow morning to get some more pics. Ivy couldn't stay all afternoon to see the job completed as she had to get back to work.
