Re: My Big Fat Renovation

I got the two side doors almost ready for paint. I ordered a tin cap that will fit over the brick molding for these and all of the garage doors.

I also used some of the roofing tin to cover up the bottom gap. I shimmed the crap out of the sills so they're solid enough to stand on. I love the plastic shims available now a days. Getting these painted are the last hurdle to completely siding this whole side. My parents are coming down in a month, I'd like to have this side done before they get here. It also sucks, but when I'm done and have the landscaping finished I'm going to have to repaint the block. That red clay is the devil. My pressure washer can't get it all back off. I also had to repair a couple damaged areas (hence fresh paint in 2nd pic). Where we drilled out the block for the ground wire... and I accidentally got a concrete screw too close to the outside and damaged a small area

And again... my phone made the doors look like fun house doors. I have an 8' straight edge I check everything with... they're straight.
