Ok, so after some (more) discussion, we think we are going to go with our cedar front door instead of the one I have been refinishing. I still plan on working on that door, and maybe eventually using it, but for now it is easier to use the cedar. Nolan told me that it is only around $85 to have a door dipped and stripped; I would have thought that was a lot, that is until spending way too many hours and not even half-way finished with stipping with a heat gun. Does anyone know of a place near Atlanta that does this service?
I have my Spring Break next week, so I might be able to put the cedar door up then (or at least hold it up in the door frame to see how it looks). Hopefully I will be able to accomplish some other tasks next week as well. Who knows? Maybe we will have a new door soon.
Nothing is plumb, level or square:
This blog is an attempt to document our joys and frustrations in the most recent phase of our lives--home ownership! Our new home is a 1928 bungalow in a great little neighborhood in East Point, GA.
We bought the house from a guy who pretty much flipped it, meaning he did some really nice things (thanks for the granite & stainless kitchen!), as well as some really crappy things (why did you cover up the attic vents?). His intentions? Good. His contractor? Not so much.
We hope to restore some original charm to the house, as well as update some things that have been neglected. And we hope...insane though it might be...to do it all ourselves.
Read along as we attempt to figure it all out…
