Mega Mouse Condominium

I bought two 61 to 66 doors yesterday for a pretty good price. The seller said the one door was a lot heavier. He said maybe cause it still has all the internals in it. I was a little suspect. Window regulators, door remotes, and glass don't weigh that much.

Here is what I found after I got the access panel off!





There must have been at least 10 pounds of fiberglass insulation in the bottom of the door!

Hi Abe,

You should look on it from the bright side, imagine all the stuff was mouse-**** ;-)

I don't have the best sense of smell, too many sinus surgeries, but it didnt smell bad. That was the trash can lid and I did dump it in the trash can in the alley. So some building some where has their R value lowered a bit thanks to the mice. I am hoping they weren't home as I hauled the doors in the back of my CR-V.

Often the bigger issue is the corrosive mouse whiz from their incontinent relatives.

I was surprised the door was not in worse shape.
