Scrape and Sand

Once I removed all the old nails and staples, I could start preparing the frames to be re-painted.  I paused halfway through to take this picture.  The one on the bottom/left is already done.  The top/right one is untouched.

The paint had some serious "alligatoring", so it was time to get down to bare wood.  I spent most of the day with a heat gun, orbital sander, and dremel to get into all the nooks and crannies.

I still have a bit of work to do to repair the bottom edge of each door before starting the painting process.

And the screw holes for the hinges are shot so they need the dowel and glue treatment.
