    How to Install Double Barn Doors

    September 22, 2020 /

    Why Barn Doors – We have an extra room in our basement with a large, 5’x7’ opening without a door.

After a 30 second Google search, I found The Home Depot’s recommendation on How to Unclog a Bathroom Sink excessive for my needs (lots of steps). But, it did help me learn to first think through what’s causing the issue before jumping to a seemingly easy fix using chemicals that may not be needed. My Cause – I knew it was hair because I am the only owner of my home (wasn’t a previous owner/tenant clogging) and my wife has a lot…
