It’s been a busy three days but I’m checking things off my weekend “to do” list.
Finish Guest Bedroom Door
That darn door just wouldn’t go back up after I finished painting it. There were gaps around the door and it wouldn’t shut all the way, as it was TOO tight at the hinged side. Again, old house, old door, new plan.
We carefully removed the door stops on the outside of the door.
The picture shows the door closed and the stop off. See how far away the edge of the stop was from the door. Huge GAP! (the tip of my finger)

We then installed a new doorknob so we could shut the door and put the stops back on so they would fit closer to the door. A much better fit, indeed.
Just a little touch up paint and the door was done. Opens and shuts like it was new. :-) It wasn’t that bad, really. Just about everything in this house is like that. You THINK it will go a certain way and you always have to tweak or change something. It’s all about “workin’ it out”. (sigh)

Oh goodness, I sometimes forget that I did that to the door! Those old doors were in such bad shape but I couldn’t toss them so I got a little creative. It was fun. I did one in the bathroom too.
This is the kind of stuff I need to make more time for! (sigh) Where does the time go!
Thanks for looking!
