    In exchange for a discount on my bill, I built a door for the makeshift storage unit adjacent to my mechanic’s garage. I wanted the door to be functional but look as if it had been there for years, fitting in the weathered environment. I collected material from the street and made Brand New Door. Lastly, I wrote 2305 1/2 (their address being 2305) above the door, giving it an invented address.

    Unfortunately, they didn’t mention the unit was not on their property. Two months after installation, the real owner saw my door. Confused by the strange addition, he replaced it with his own Brand New Door, seen in the second photograph.

    A response is currently being planned so that my project is finally realized.
