Sooooo,on the subject of the water heater, we ordered and installed a Siebel tankless water heater, that by all accounts would serve our needs. After four months of testing and rechecking everything we did and finally calling Seibel they told us their tankless heather would not work in Canada because our water was too cold.
I asked them if they were sold in Michigan and Colorado and he said yes. Decision made, return unit to Home Depot and install a conventional unit.



Other amenities in the bathroom were an access panel for the water pressure valve and clean outs.




And a stainless steel sink.



And for privacy Lloyd built a door.



Notice, the brace pattern is a "Z". No coincidence there will be three Z28's in the shop.

I built the door from red cedar sourced locally in keeping with other millwork we've added to the reno. As cedar is dimensionally unstable it was necessary to glue and biscuit join the frame then I added architectural bolts for strength. The field boards were first overlap routed and float inside the frame as they expand and contract significantly with weather and humidity. On the inside I routed the frame rail for a closure pull and latch. There will be an automotive themed outside handle added when Paul gets to it.

Beautiful workmanship and attention to detail. Given the "instability" of cedar, a sliding door is a pretty ideal application. You guys do GREAT work. Keep those cards and letters coming!!
