... work on the doors starts Monday. All doors need attention, however the front door and respective exterior trim are in extremely bad shape (not to mention to non-existant interior trim). Exterior trim will be sanded and partially replaced... Front door will be sanded, gaps/chips/old hardware holes plugged, sanded and filled smooth with wood filler/bondo, new glass installed, new hardware holes bored and new hardware (including mail slot) installed. Since refinishing for a stained wood finish would require major restoration and reveneering, which is way out of our budget, we are going to keep the trim and door (outside and inside surface) painted (Sherwin Williams "Iron Ore")... we like how it looks painted anyway, so win-win on this one! Vestibule door isn't in very bad shape, so it will be sanded, gaps/chips filled with wood filler/bondo, new hardwared installed, and painted (Sherwin Williams "Dover White").
In addition to the doors, the wood panel fascia and closet door will be sanded and primed for painting beginning of next week...
... we had a bit of a 'failure to communicate' situation with Bo's dad, who is currently working solo on the stairs... As mentioned in a previous post, while demolishing the stair, the newel post and base surround/fascia were discovered to be unsalvagable. We figured out a way to rebuild both, within our budget... however, it appears as though the details got lost in translation... or just blatantly ignored. The first step was supposed to be 'built-in'/wrap-around/enclosed by the vertical base fascia... Instead, Bo's dad took liberty to design, and construct, another option.
... not cool, Bo's dad, not cool... especially since your option looks like ass...
After a bit of heated discourse, we decided to let this slide... we can always do a bit of altering later... it's just not worth the added aggrevation/delay in schedule to rebuild... moving on...
