Welcome - a Build Post

My word for the year is "Build," so I'm going to try to focus some posts around that throughout the year!

The warm spring weather has meant that I could tackle a facelift for our front doors, which were getting kind of weathered.

These are not the original front doors to the house. At some point the doorway had been blocked in and replaced with a basic single door, we then replaced it with some solid double doors. These doors are courtesy of an over-served bartender at Sweeney's many years ago, whose car had been towed when parked in the private auto body lot next door, and who blamed us for that and started banging down the door at 1am. That destroyed the front doors and we got these made for the house from a bizarre place called "Pinecraft" which was a whole story in itself.

The warm weather meant it was warm enough to sand and varnish these without fear of overnight freeze.

And they now look great!

If this weather keeps up, I guess I'll have to scrape and paint the garage soon...
