The Door

We worked on this damn door all day. Putting it back together was the easy part. 

Although it was a job for an 18 inch drill bit. 

All the last bits of paint were removed. 

But something bad happened when we shortened it. It got cut crooked. We then spent hours trying to rectify this/figure out how to build the door jamb. The first try with a jig saw just made it worse. After that we got a much needed circular saw. We straightened the edge but there was still a chunk missing. It's a long story, the moral of which is - it was a mess.  

We worked into the night and got the plates up to hide the damaged areas. 

The good news is we picked the door color - on the first try. That never happens for us. Sherwin Williams in parakeet.
