Pocketless Door Experiment (2 of 3) :: Hardware

Now it's not like I haven't seen them. Essentially, a pocketless door is a pocket door without a pocket. While a pocket door in tucked back and hidden in the wall framing, a pocketless door, on the other hand, is hung on a track from the ceiling or mounted to a wall. In this configuration, they are also sometimes known as barn doors.
The hardware you find at the home center for this installation is not that different from what you find for sliding closet doors. Most closet doors are paired, hence, two tracks and two sets of rollers. With the product that I bought, a Pocket Sliding Door Assembly, it allows for an along the wall installation. [ . . . ]

I end up getting a lot of questions about this: "How did you learn to do home improvement?" And more often than not, my answer starts with. . . "Well, long story. . . ."
First off, I really have never learned how to do home improvement; I am certainly not a tradesman. I mean, I think even for those highly specialized professionals out there, do you really ever fully learn how to do anything? Home improvement, like everything else, is an ongoing process of building knowledge and learning. (Notice the present participle.) [ . . . ]
