It does snap back.

I took a flush cutting router bit to the door openings to get them nice and sharp. Will be getting the doors framed out soon. Also starting to put some trim on. Seeing how it looks. I think I like it.

I will be putting some half round on the inside of the door jam to get it looking nice.

Got two of the three doors cut out and set temporarily in place. Cant wait to see them painted and hung with the chrome hinges I bought.

And of course with the windows and door knobs etc.

I'm waiting for the windows, Trim, Drip Caps etc. But I think I will get it done before the event in august. I have mostly cabinet making to complete in the kitchen and the bedroom. Some miscellaneous bolts and viola. My fingers are still crossed.
