Glued and Screwed - Part 2

A long time ago I had to repair all the dining room chairs; those repair skills are handy to have for other projects as well...

We found some french doors laying in the attic. I'm not sure if these were ever installed in the house or if they came from somewhere else.  There aren't any door frames that are quite the right size and these are a bit shorter than most of the doors in the house.  They coordinate reasonably well with the french doors between the master bedroom and closet, though.  We're going to use them between the master closet and the master bathroom.

Some of the glass panes were covered with wall paper.  All of the panes had been painted.  So I spent a good part of the day peeling the wallpaper remnants and scraping the glass with a razor.

The styles had started to separate from the rails at the top and bottom of each door, so I re-glued them and screwed them together for good measure.  Once the glue dried, I scraped off the excess and sanded the doors to prepare for paint.

Now they're ready to have any excess holes filled, bare wood primed, and hung.  That will require a little extra work - as I mentioned they are 6 inches shorter than the other doors, so a decorative header will need to be fabricated.

The plan is to get these installed and painted before the Ramsey Hill House Tour.
