fur doors – 6 total – $500
2-24″; 4-28″ excellent shape, still in boxes.
I had a car once with fur doors. I mean, it was a nice car and all, at least until the woodworms got to it. Still – better than that Tudor car I had, what with all the beheadings.
Thanks for the post, SD!

Yeah, I wanted to put fur doors on the house, like the neighbors did. But then PeTA showed up and threw red paint on everything. While it did improve the look of the house, it was just sad to see the doors trying to shake it off.
Only 6?
Sorry Sparklepie, I was looking for Mordor(s) than that.
One does not simply receive Mordor(s).
Dear Sparky,
I know a girl who could use these. Could you get in touch with her directly? furelise@lvb.org
Hugs and splinters,

When The Doors went anthro, that’s when they lost their popularity.
Story of my li-
Er, I mean, not that there’s anything wrong with that…
So, is Fur Doors your The Doors/The Animals mashup band?
Correction, OMV…this is my Chicago cover band..”25 or six to fur”
They don’t look like they are in excellent shape. They look absolutely beastly.
“excellent shape”…rectangular?
Which one is the Alpha door?
In Soviet Russia, door slam you.
These are my fur doors Eric. I chose them out of thousands. The others were all too flat.
Yew know that a car with fur doors is very poplar, but it’s always pining for the Fords. I preferred to spruce up mine with a nice piece of ash, but some son of a beech was always trying to bum a ride; he wood knot leaf me alone. The poor sap got so trunk he was in an aldernet reality and could not cedar road when he ran into the copse and lost his license. They were so mad the jury had to be sequoiastered. His behavior left them stumped, and he willow payments on his wrecked Aspen for years.
Oak Kay, this story is really a figment of my imagination, and it’s time to nip it in the bud. What did you expect when you logged in to YSAC?
What did I read that whole thing fir?
I asked myself why I read this out loud. O.o
Fur doors can be used in lots of places.

P-Rex, I don’t know if I’m the only one, but I think your avatar is awesome. It looks like a gigantic spider with the legs of a being-eaten person wearing blue jeans and white tennis shoes jutting from its mouth.
I find it terrifying.
I find it and squish it!
I pictured an actual bunny with a door on it for a moment there.
“Where have all my carrots gone?” *opens the rabbit door* “Aha!”
Are these doors sprayed and nuttered?
I just couldn’t handle a bunch of mini fur doors running around creating portals to God knows where.
Yeah, then you would have to hire a door handler to train them.
Draw me a porter, will you?
If we’re taking orders, I’ll have a blueberry lager.
Especially if they are open and they pounce on your purse or wallet.
(Unless the portals open to my house.)
It’s more a fear of finding myself as Alice, being stuck in Wonderland, with the only hope of finding my way back home is to lick mushrooms in order to be tall enough to see my way around.
I hate mushrooms.
On the other hand, I would take the red pill.
These are what you lob in appreciation at a Furthur show, right?
Ugh, too early for sparkiimath.
We are presented a photo with three boxes, which is purported to hold a half-dozen doors, but in only two widths of door.
[before coffee corey-stuffs]
Which leads my three decades’ experience in these things, to conclude that these are likely bi-fold closet doors, boxed in hinged-together pairs.
Which would yield a door for a 4′-0″ (2x 24″) opening, and two for 5′-6″ (2x 28″) openings. This makes more sense than deliberately
stealer, buying four 2′-4″ (equals 28″) not-very-standard-width doors.Which brings up a nomenclature problem. See, we’ve had factories making doors and selling them as piecework for right about a century and a half, call it 7 score years, now. To try and sort out whether we mean whole inches or feet-and-inches, the door builders settled upon using feet and inches. To simplify things further, there are no scripting notations used. So, a 24″ door is not noted as a 2′-0″ door, but as a 20 (read as “two-oh” or “two-zero”).
This is important, too, in that despite all sparkii wishes to the contrary, doors come in different heights–in residential use, 6′-8″ is middling standard, but 7′-0″ and 8′-0″ are not uncommon. Those would be noted as “68”; “70”‘ and “80” respectively.
So, Spark’ could be reading the notation on the box, of “24” as 2′-0″ when it is really 2′-4″, or 28″ wide. With the other two pair at “28” actually being 2′-8″, or 32″ wide.
This can seem pedantic in big steaming piles, but, it’s important. See, none of these are, in fact, what they seem. Doors need frames to affix them to walls. The frame requires a specific amount of space of its own. Smart people also allow for “wiggle” room lest the opening be less than perfect.
So, to frame for a 2-0 door, I leave a 25″ space in the framing. Which leaves enough room for the door frame. The 2-0 door will arrive 23-13/16″ wide (so that it fits the frame without binding.
So, yes, these things are important. Sawing 2″ off the sides of a door (or 4″ off just the one side if a sparkii) is under-elegant, and spoils the door.
Lastly, at retail, a prehung (means includes the frame and hinges, all already inset for hinges & latch) door, even in Fir, runs about $100. Just the door, retails for $40; $25-30 at a surplus/salvage joint. So, Spark’ is trying to rip us off (no surprise).
(Oh, and I’ve long since given up on trying to correct those who feel that the conifer named for the arborist Douglas is a “fir” as they then insist that a soffit made up of strips of furring lumber is a “fir down”. . . )
[/corey/corey/corey/corey/corey/corey, et al]
tl;dr
Spark’ don’ kno’ from apples & horse-apples, and is tryin’ to sell for twice what the market does.
Or the even shorter version….
blah, blah, blah, big steaming piles… blah, blah
8) We adore you, Cap’n.
I heartily concur, Capn, and throw multiple 20 doors at you (along with a couple 4040 windows).
Ooh, winders! (worked
furfor a person who insisted upon that speeling)Fixed or moving sashes, dear Arch’?
I must ask, do you prefer your agile fenestration sliding, swinging, or hung? [corner]
Yay! I’m smart ‘cuz I like to wiggle!
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle!
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle!
See? Now everybody knows how smart I am.
As the owner of a long haired dog who is shedding, I can say the doors are one of the few things in my house not covered in fur
Today, we have deviled fur door into Craigslist than ever bee four.
New job does not block the blog!
Now, how to fit YSaC into my billable time… 😉
Research!!!
Staff Development [CEU pending]
So…do you shave or wax your fur doors?
I have found a barrette and a spritz of Aquanet will tame frizzy fur and still looks fashionable.
What sorts of curtains do waxed doors have?
The real question is does the carpet match the fur door?
Corner seems cold and antiseptic today <G>
Well, it’s late and the snark lounge is nearly empty. I will tell this to whomever may read it. I do not expect doors for this story and the story explains why.
Back when I was a trucker, another trucker’s truck broke down. I was asked to take the trailer to New Hampshire or maybe it was Vermont. (Since I became a brain dammaged zomb last year my memory has failed often.) The trailer was full of door skins. Can you imagine how many doors died to fill that trailer with skins? The driver that was supposed to take the load was a regular driver for that trip. So several trailers per year, loaded with door skins were tranported across the country from Washington to New Hampshire or Vermont. (Since I became a brain dammaged zomb last year my memory has failed often.)
Anyways, a little research* has revealed that these doors are farm raised. Probably on an egress ranch. Then they are herded into stock trucks and shipped to a slaughter house where they are killed using a router to the spine. (They used to use a chisel to the spine but the slaughterhouses have become more advanced. The routers kill quicker. Some individual “carpenters” still use chisels.) Anywho, once they are deadwood, they are skinned. Then toe jamb is removed from the foot of the door. The knobs then get removed leaving a hole big enough to stick a fork in it, but it’s not quite done yet. The holes are then removed and tossed into a bucket. (The bucket never seems to get full.) The rest of the doors get ground up and used for hamster bedding.
I have come to the conclusion that doors reproduce quickly in captivity but not in the wild. Can you imagine door stalkers finding enough doors in the wild to fill a semi-trailer full of skins?
Okay, maybe the doors would have a better life here on this forum rather than to face the slaughterhouse. Maybe we are helping the door population by using them here. I am guilty of tossing and flinging doors myself. But isn’t a flung door better than a dead door?
* This research was very difficult. Since I’ve already done it, there is no reason for you to repeat the search for this information. None at all.
Repeating the research is like beating a dead door. Don’t bother. No, really, don’t do it. Put your keyboard away. The research is too gory. You really don’t want to google that. Not Safe For Work, Play, Recreation, Tax Exemptions, The Dust Bunny Foundation, or Intuitive Coffee
BaconBaking.ghostie and C””J, you are very decorative in the box! Wait, I can’t go to the corner until I’ve done this! Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, A Dooring Fan!
