Door Story

I found the original front door under our deck a week or so ago and it was in pretty good shape - all things considered. I thought we should restore it and stick it back on the front of the house where it belongs. I has a giant window in it and is nice molded Douglas Fir. We screped all the old paint off and I picked up some security plastic instead of glass - for obvious reasons - and started after it. The hanging of the door- I hate hanging doors. so much screwing around. I ended up plane-ing the bottom, sanding down the sides and having to redrill the hinges (which would take hinge recesses for some reasion) all of this mucking about meant that there was a good 1/8' gap on the hinge side of the door and the same on the bottom. Weather stripping fixed the hinge side one no problemo - but the bottom is just a bit too small to take a proper draft cutter that you attach to the door. I still have to figure that out. Any way, we painted it Green.
