Look Ma; No Doors

The carpet installer wanted all the doors removed to make his life easier.  I was OK with that because I needed to prep them and wanted to get them outside anyway.

I've been trying to figure out how I can paint all the doors in one step.  Using saw horses is a pain - waiting for a side to cure completely before you flip it really slows down the process.

I have six doors to paint and have been thinking about how best to do it.  I don't recall where I first saw the idea, but I saw some guy using a rotisserie. He fabricated a stand for each end and installed a lag screw in the top and bottom of each door.  The lag screw rest on the stand or on a set of saw horses.  The you can spin the door around to paint both sides and edges in one pass.  Sort of like this.

I have six doors to paint and I like to do them all at once so I needed to modify that idea a little.

So I came up with this.  Insert a screw eye in the top of each door and hang each from a hook in the garage.  Then I have easy access to the entire door and each is hanging in its normal orientation.

I have only one left to prep (lying flat on saw horses at the left edge of the picture) and then I can get started painting.
