Door Update

I've really been working on the door. I washed it, after all.


Then I researched what was needed to paint a steel door with plastic trim. Oh yeah, love the mixed media there.


Unfortunately, I need Bondo to fix some cracks on the door. Then I need a bonding primer to prime the door before I can paint it.


Luckily, Doug has all this in his garage. But now I have to wait for him to spray the front door with primer - since Doug says that I can't just use a brush or roller with this stuff.


Rats.


Doug did call me from work yesterday and ask me to get the door ready. Prep work, my favorite. Not. Sadly, I was unable to do much prep work, so Doug started on that when he got home. Go, Doug!

A storm decided to blow in just after he removed the door. After moving the door work to the garage, we laughed as our back door repeatedly blew open (the girls didn't close it very tight, and without a front door, the air pressure is working against that door). Fun, fun, blustery evening.


So now our door is beautiful primer grey. Amusingly enough, it actually looks better grey than with the brown/white stuff going on. I even joked that we could keep it like this until after Halloween, since it seems to fit our holiday decor so well:

Nah. Definitely paint it red! And soon!
