Termites and Toilet

The door to our toilet (well, not exactly "our" toilet; it's the toilet in the house we are renting in Pantai Acheh) fell off. Finally.

"Finally", because we had been expecting it. The whole door frame had been eaten up by termites. And yes, that house has termite problem.

First, we knocked down the poor, completely devoured door frame...

Then we made a new one...

Not very expertly, of course...

Then we trim the new door (sliding, folding type) down to size (they always make it extra long height-wise to make sure it fits different heights of different door frames)...

Then up goes the door to the frame... Well, it's not so easy, actually. Fixing the railings to the door frame was a bit of a struggle. But anyway, we managed in the end...

Not perfect (the right-hand side of the frame is a bit misaligned), but OK-lah...

The old door. We decided not to use the old door because it was much, much more difficult to make a door frame that this door would fit snugly into. With the sliding & folding type, the width of the frame will pose no issue, and as for the height, you can cut the door down to fit the frame. :-)

There was another bizarre incident also related to the termite infestation of the house, but that's another story for another post later...
