The summer doldrums are always a good time for us to tackle house projects. And, being true to ourselves we’re doing like 5 of them at the same time 😆 One of those is a little sprucing up of the master bath. When we renovated it 8-9 years ago, we had some day laborers repaint and rehang the doors. It was a temporary fix until we had the time and energy to do them right. So, last week I removed them to fix some trim, the door jamb, and so a small floor patch that’s been on the punch list for years. While I love doing almost every kind of DIY/home improvement project, I find stripping paint soul crushing. So, I had Ricca's Architectural Sales dip the doors for us and they turned out great! Obviously, it costs a lot more to have them chemically stripped like this, but it would have taken me at least week’s time in the south Louisiana heat and humidity to strip them, and they wouldn’t be anywhere near as clean as they are now. Not to mention that they almost certainly had some amount of lead paint on them which means wearing a full face respirator ( a nearly unbearable experience in this heat. )
Very excited to get these tuned up with new hardward, and reinstall them soon.
