SO! Without further adieu, here is a video explaining the saga of the refrigerator door a whole lot better...
And if you aren't keen on videos? Here is a picture from my instagram feed that might clue you in a little better until I tell the whole rest of the story next week (or something).

| This will be a gallery within the student gallery that requires people to put their own artwork on it freely!!! Top picture shows the back of the door (on wheels) with a place to archive work that has been displayed for a while and a storage bin for cool magnets. The bottom left shows a full-length view of the whole front of the door. The bottom right picture shows the full-length view of the back of the door. |
For that matter if you do agree with me and you decide to join me in this endeavor? Please PLEASE contact me and let me know how it goes for you!!!! I'd love to see pictures of your journey making it happen as well as pictures of the final product.
That is so funny...I was just telling my student teacher today how I use to have a flat paper fridge door on the wall outside my room to hang kids art from home!!!! HA HA...I am going to try to make it today during my planning. Great minds think alike I guess. :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely!! I have done the research this whole past year and a half over if something like this already exists - like, the physical version of it as I have shown - and NOBODY has done this. I can't understand why either. I like your version too as well. I definitely could have made something like that happen a whole lot faster than how I made mine happen.
DeleteToo cool! I guess you got someone to weld the 2 doors together and make the rolling stand?
ReplyDeleteNo welding at all but you are correct that I sort of outsourced (or more accurately delegated) the task of making it solidly upright and fully mobile. We have an AMAZING master carpenter on staff and he can pretty much build and/or create anything I dream up. When I presented this idea to him, I hardly told him all of the details and he had no issue knowing exactly where I was going with it such that when I showed up with the doors, all I had to do was hand them over to him and about three hours later my classroom door open and he pushed it in right in the middle of my classes. To say I was ecstatic when it happened is a serious understatement. The guy is INCREDIBLE at using His gifts to serve the Lord and the school community. Sadly, he is retiring at the end of this month. Just the thought of the idea of that makes me so upset. I have been trying not to think about it if I can help it.
DeleteI love it! So much!
ReplyDeleteJen - So glad that this is being so well received. As it turns out, one of my coworkers has a refrigerator that just broke on her and she has a front top and bottom door set that I could have been able to use OR would be able to pass on to someone to use and do the same thing. I love this blog because I can share the idea of doing something like this but what a "wrench" to deal with when I want to be able to do more (like actually give someone a refrigerator door to be able to make their own).
