the "Million Dollar Door Cart"

Introducing the "Million Dollar Door Cart." This custom designed and hand crafted beauty was commissioned, built, and placed into active duty in early 2006. It works very well though it has seen little action since being inducted.

This cart holds four sets of double doors and one single door. The doors are used to fill that roll up door seen in the above photos and one other during live events held at the joint where I work. It's all about fire codes and egress.

Previous to this cart the doors were leaned against various walls and lifted into place with the help of about 5-6 densely built punters and a forklift. What I mean to say is that these doors is heavy.

A little known fact about this beautiful door cart is that its actual cost was far less than a million dollars. It was constructed using recycled metal tubing that would otherwise have ended up becoming industrial waste.

Even though the "Million Dollar Door Cart" was designed and built at extremely low cost it was so named because its funder tended to wander past the construction site while work was happening on the project and since work only happened sporadically as other duties were deemed more pressing he got the idea that he was paying a small fortune in labor costs. Thus concluding that the cart must have cost him about a million dollars. (I assure you that I don't get paid that well, not even close)

Needless to say, I am proud of my door cart. My design worked. Some naysaying colleagues weren't so sure it would when they saw the initial drawings.

I am certain that it has been my greatest accomplishment of the last year. I'm sure that the spiders that currently inhabit it would agree with me wholeheartedly.
