There's been a long delay between this post and the previous one for the attic bathroom. That's because I never really finished the work. I got 95% done and got distracted with other things.
The remaining work was installing the door latch and then painting the window frame and door.
The latch came with a nice template, but the template was for a 1-1/2 inch thick door. This door is 1-3/4 so I had to cut the template apart and line up the pieces with a laser level. One piece for the edge of the door, another for the face, and the third for the jamb.
I lined up the template with the existing mortise for the old latch to minimize the amount of material I had to remove, as well as minimizing the amount of filling. There were some areas that needed to be filled because it looked like a previous owner's dog had chewed significantly into the edge of the door. I used Abatron WoodEpox and am happy with the results.
It took a little while to remove the material and dry fit the latch. Then I did all the surface prep and primed the places where there was bare wood.
Then came the Impervo as the topcoat in the usual color, Ivory Tusk, to match the rest of this part of the attic.
