well, i didn't know the size of them before i bought them, so i was planning on using them in my house. one for my master bedroom and one for the door that goes to the door to my garage (actually the door to the laundry room)

the only door close to the size of these is the front door, but i wouldn't use these for front doors....not that safe.

so, i will hold on to them and probably use them in a purpose build auto shop when i have land one day. i'll make the doorways to fit these. or if i build another house i'll have them in corporated while building.

i could have them rebuilt to fit the frame ways i have. Paul from the Packard wood sales knows of ways to do it and i will probably get his ideas on that cause i would like to use them, but i don't like the idea really of modifying them from original, but you guys know me.

the crown molding i will use in my foyer and my wife and i really like that patina....so we may hand it as is with a bit of some touch up and cleaning.

i tell you it is so cool to touch this stuff and just dream of all the history flowing through that touch. ;0)

and i am sure these will bring a heck of a profit for me if i hold on to them and decide to sell one day. i didn't pay much, but i bet one day when the plant is long gone....they'll be prime money then.....i hope, but that isn't why i bought them....but its nice to hope they will increase in value.
