Doors




The front door to the place is okay, but we really want to replace it. There is a side door to a large crawl space, under what was the porch and what is now the entry hall and study. Water had done some damage to the framing there, but the door was in nice shape, aside from the paint job. I have spent most of this month stripping and sanding it to get it ready to re-install. This weekend I'm putting 4-5 coats of urethane on the back side, the last step. I think it's turned out pretty nicely. We purchased a custom door from Lowes for the entry. I'll be starting on painting it next. There is a sliding door to what we call the shed (above, to the right), the front portion of the barn. There is a door that operates on a rail system on the back of the barn (in the middle, ). Whatever else happens to the barn, we're salvaging the door system: it's a classic.
