Not droopy drawers - doors ! <g>
Discovered a new snag with the new traveller......
The rear doors seem to have developed a droop - particularly the nearside door - which has dropped possibly 1/4 of an inch at the top.
Close investigation shows that there is movement in the top hinge, relative to the rear pillar. A gentle 'tweak' of the nuts on the end of the fixing bolts showed that they are free to revolve - with sounds of rotten wood being chewed up ! Bother !
How much of a problem is this going to be to fix ?
The timber looks OK from the outside.......
The head of the coachbolts seems to be sandwiched between the rear timbers section and an inside timber section - haven't investigated further for fear of undoing more bits than I should
I'm hoping that it's going to be possible to use some of the magic 'wood hardener' to sort this - though I guess an alternative solution would be to drill out the holes in the rotten section oversise and glue in a timber dowel, which could then be re-drilled to take the coachbolts....
Anybody been there and done that ??
Many thanks
Adrian
