That reminds me I knocked a small window in the former 'pantry' (tiny brick protrusion from kitchen, long since boarded up from kitchen side) into a narrow door (to turn it into a tool shed), got as far as putting some rudimentary linings on, bought a cheap oak door to cut down to fit it and have never got round to doing it. That was years ago. The opening is very wonky.
Door fiasco update. I trimmed the door lining I had on hand to suit my framing without really thinking it would mean building a bespoke door to fit. I don’t have the tools or skill to do proper mortise and tenon joints etc so I decided to make a frame in two parts - softwood inside and hardwood out and glue and pin them together. I would then rebate the internal frame to hold a 16mm sheet of polycarbonate and add a glazing bead on the outside. So far so good until I fucked up routing the rebate. Rethinking things I pivoted to a thinner sheet of polycarbonate and bought some 2x1 hardwood to act as a chunky bead. Hard to explain really but anyway - I now have a door of sorts - needs some filling, sanding , finishing and then hinges handle and latch.
