Question

Moved into a new house, and there are no mezuzot or doors on any of the entrances. How should mezuzot be affixed?

Answer

When moving in, one should affix mezuzot in all rooms and recite a blessing only for a room that has a door, because according to Rambam, in such a case, one is exempt. The Shach wrote that it should be affixed without a blessing, and later, when doors are installed, they should be removed and re-affixed with a blessing.
