Once the nail holes were all filled, my
Mom began taping and
painting.

Door #2. My Dad admires
his handy-work. Being solid wood doors, they require three
hinges. The top and bottom hinges could be added using the original
door as a template. The third (middle) hinge was simply cut in the
middle of the door, then cut into the jam
once the first and
second were
hung.

Looking at this photo, I kind of wish we
stained the doors, but that would have been too much. It's bad
enough our walls actually have color, but to show so much contrast
between the walls, trim doors and floor would never fly if and when
it comes time to
sell.

Jen got tired of working downstairs in
the dark, so my Dad and I hooked her up with some light.

My
Dad working on another door. I told him he was like a door troll
with his little cave-like area in the
downstairs hallway.

I
guess this was Saturday. We decided to hold off on some doors and
get the kitchen windows finished. Neither of the two windows we had
put in a few years back had window sills. We had to make them
ourselves. First my Dad had to clear away some "material" to get the
sill to fit. Made me a little nervous watching him dig into our
windows with a
chisel.
|
 |
But the sill fit nicely. With a little paint
and caulk, you'll never see the "fitting" areas.
|
 |
With the sill in, the casing went up
quickly.
|
 |
Almost looks professional.

Jen got right to
taping it, so she could get it painted.
