Front Doors
Rosalba and I went to the Sunday market in Chandler today to get organic fruit and veg as we do most weeks.
While strolling around looking for some laundry baskets we walked past this stall with beautifully carved solid wooden doors. There were some stricking designs on display, many of them with some African animals carved into the middle panel.
Lucky for Rosalba and myself there where also some doors that did not have an African theme that were rather nice. Of these we ended up buying two (shown on the left) for the front entrance of the strawbale home we are going to build.
This is the first purchase specifically for our strawbale house and we think at less than $600 in total we have done rather well.

Glad you liked it Mark - and that you were not offended :)...
Mark and Rosalba are building a strawbale house!

Oh my gosh - those are just stunning!! It’s my style down to the ground… I’ll have to head down to the Chandler market - where exactly are they, and when are they on?

The Chandler markets are in the Carpark of the Sleeman sports complex on the corner of Old Cleveland Rd and Tilley Rd. They are open every Sunday from 6am to about 1pm.
The guy selling the doors was in the bottom half of the 3rd aisle from the bottom.
And in the 3rd aisle from the top is the organic fruit and veg stall where Rosalba and I buy most of our fruit and veg.

[...] The main entrance door needs to change back into a double door, as Rosalba and I have already purchased two doors for the main entrance (see related post “Front Door“). [...]
