Life in Texas, trying to eat local, organic food...raise heritage breed chickens, make enough money to support my coffee habit... and restore this old house.

It is time to tackle the front door. The door itself is fine, I stripped it and replaced the chipping wood putty that was in it and repainted it a couple of years ago..but I just couldn't seem to get myself to start on the frame trim. I didn't know where to start.
Obviously there are alot of places TO start..maybe that was part of the problem.
Anyway, so when the door guy was here the other day I asked him if I could pick his brain for a bit after he was done and, he being one of the nicest door framer guys I ever met (as wella s the only one) stayed to show me what I needed to do to fix the woodwork and what type of trim to do.
So I showed hime what I had picked up from Home Depot
and he agreed that it would be a perfect finish molding for the exterior! YAY!
So next week I will begin to pull the rest of hte vinyl down and pull the old torn up molding out...and begin on the door. I am scared that I will muck this up royally but I have never been one for not taking a chance, right

Marye you are so talented. I am sure it will be great. Even if it is less then perfect in your eyes it will be better than how it is now.
