It would have been better if they specified a regular wooden or metal door leading into a building, or a hangar door which is known to be quite large.
I am glad they corrected it. I can understand the cost of the door Given the nature of the door repair.

Back in the Nineties, I worked on an escalator modernization contract for the State of Illinois which actually entailed the entire replacement of the escalators. ‘Modernization’ made it sound like a simple overhaul or repair, which it was until we found the original escalator was imported from Germany. Eventually, the project included elevators as well: replacing programming circuits, software, cables, and electronics.
A project that I thought would only take a year or two stretched out to seven years thanks to growing complexity and lack of funding during the process.
