The Massey Motel is built except for a door. What to do for a door?

I had lots of ideas for doors but my constraints were: I wanted the door to be recessed into the door opening; I needed to be able to have myself get into the shelter easily; I didn't have any money to spend on a door. So having no money to spend really cut down on my options!!

I had a heavy duty tarp over top of the old temporary shelter as a temporary roof. I thought maybe I could re-purpose that old tarp and make a kind of a roll up door out of it.

Have a look and see what I came up with. Also I use some white silicone to try and glue the tarp edges together. Let me know if you think this will work. Or better still, let me know what you think would work to glue polyethylene tarps together.

Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the video. Please 'thumbs up' me and leave me some comments. And if you haven't done so already, please consider 'subscribing' to my channel. It sure helps my videos get noticed and my channel grow. I hope you all have a great week.

We'll talk to yas ...
