Working on The Garage Doors

When we last left the garage doors, we were cleaning and patching them.

Since then, they have returned to the garage and are no longer sitting in our backyard (but a lot of other crap still is)

The plan was to refinish these while they were still hanging out in the backyard and then rehang them when they were done. But they were REALLY heavy and so there was NO WAY I was going to be able to help Chris rehang them, so the guys at BAU were thankfully able to help us.

We've been working on many other garage projects, so we've sorta forgotten about the doors. Until yesterday.

Before I went into work yesterday (day 17 of 17), I started refinishing the doors

So I got out the palm sander and got to work

After about 45 minutes things were looking good

I've still gotta get the sandpaper out and hand sand the moulding (bleh, not my favorite task), and I didn't get a chance to sand the front because of the rain.

The goal today is to finish the interior side (finish sanding and hopefully paint and install the handles), and get the first sanding done on the exterior (it's supposed to rain on and off today). I'm hoping over the weekend we can FINISH the doors, which includes sanding and painting the outside and installing these AWESOME big ol' beefy handles we got
