    Double Entry Doors

    Great, glad you found a close to what you were looking for. Just proves it never hurts to ask and you had someone there with knowledge. I was going to mention interior fire doors, center filled with gypsum might work, not sure if they would have condensation issue.

    Truss question - new idea

    How many Yards of rock do I need?

    Length X Width X Depth X .0031 Length in feet X Width in feet X Depth in inches X .0031 = Yards of product. I use this to figure concrete slabs, footers, walls, etc. Works well for me, just remember to get the measurements right and depth in inches right.
