Doors

2-10-10  Dan has been working on the doors.  Here, he is holding one with all the paint and years of accumulated grunge removed.  They are remarkably rust-free.  Also, they are pristine with respect to lacking dents and dings.







Before Dan did the outside of the doors, he thoroughly cleaned the back sides and then temporarily sealed them to avoid getting the stripping chemicals on the newly-cleaned surfaces.








Dan also did a thorough inspection of the wood framing in the doors prior to impregnating them with  Kwik Poly to strengthen them and seal the wood.  Before this frame can be treated, Dan will have to replace the areas where improper repairs were made in the past.  As Dan says, "This door's been 'loved on' in the past."
