Doors now have a coat of Warm Gloss Poly..

Door #3..

Bench has a spotlight/work light...

That I can shine over and onto the door, to see where I miss....Door #4?

Was done over on top of my tablesaw..do one end, rotate around 180 degrees, and finish up at the other end.

There is an overhead LED work light right above this..

Letting these 2 doors sit a while...rub them out later, today...

Look awesome Bandit. Finish really makes the grain pop!

Finished really nice!

I love me some warm gloss poly!

Looking great.

Question, if I may?

What do you use to do the rubbing out? I'd be interested in your process.

0000 Steel Wool..looking mainly for "dust nubs" .....rubbing is done LIGHTLY....then wipe off with a clean rag...

 

 

Thanks.

Bathroom has been cleared out...painting the walls, today...sometime after Lunch?   

Big Challenge?    To get ALL the paint onto the walls and trim..and NOT on me, nor anything that does not need painted...

 

We'll see how THIS goes....

Stay tuned...

I can send Mimi but then you'd need 4 more gallons

painting is done....never claimed to be a Pro at painting things...including me...

 

Only thing worse than picking off dried glue...is dried paint splatters on me...and..I did NOT paint the ceiling...just as well...

 

Will find out IF I can work Monday..or wait until Tuesday...to install the new doors....

 

Stay tuned...

Working on a Tuesday,,, that THOUGHT it was a Monday...old doors have been demoed off..

No, I was not the least bit gentle about it, either...

First new door...

Took 2 people to install...hmmm.."NEXT!"

"Yeah..YOU..come here!"

 

Between the Demo work and hanging these 2 doors...while standing up on a stepladder...was just about all these 71 yr old legs could tolerate..barely

 

Handles and magnetic latches were installed..

I build doors that are square..but this opening isn't...

 

Brought Door #3 upstairs...and sized the divider that goes in-between the upper and Lower sets of doors...

 

About then...lost any and all use of my left hand, due to a massive CRAMP....can't drive a screw, when I can't even pick one up..

 

Let this sit until tomorrow morning...

Stay tuned 

Lookin' Good!

 

You expect older homes to may not be square/plumb. 

Looks great Bandit.

They look really good ! Nice job.

Door #3...

Has been installed..as is the divider strip...

 

Door #4?  Will have to wait until tomorrow..had to add a tapered jamb piece..

Waiting on white paint to dry...yes, the jamb was THAT far out of plumb,,,1" tapers to 1/2"..in 43"...

 

BTW: I asked the Boss how she liked this....she actually liked it...Filler strips, will get stained...

Those look great Bandit!!

Always a plus if the boss likes it.

 

90 minutes, to get Door #4 installed...getting slow in me Dotage?

Kind of crowded in this spot...

 

But, that will do it for this Project...thanks for looking in!
