Reviving Old Shed Doors: My Journey

The author reflects on their old shed doors, which became bowed and detached over time. Initially sturdy, the doors were eventually replaced after nearly 25 years. They ponder what to do with the heavy, worn doors, describing them as both cumbersome and a nostalgic reminder of the past.

It’s just something that I stop and think about. These are the doors that were on my shed. Heavy and solid. Over time, they started to bow. They pulled away from the screws that held the hinges to the shed. They were not working as well as they did in the past. My best guess is that the shed was built in 2000. So, it has been up for almost a quarter of a century. And with the weather here in Western Indiana, it has fared well. I did replace them with new-er constructed doors.

What do you do with the older doors? I can’t use them; they are heavier than I can safely maneuver. Two six foot doors. Worn blue gray paint. Heavy hinges. A portal to the past. Looking for two doors?

Realizing that each day is a singular event or part of the connections from birth to death. How do we connect with each other? How do we connect to our past, both individual and collective? And the sharing of our stories - the connective fiber - brings us to a closer connection. These are my stories. They connect my days.
