May 2004 When the french doors were discovered in the garage loft last year, they were in pretty rough shape. They had been there for at least 40 years and had served various unspeakable purposes for several generations of racoons. Some of the lites were broken, but upon closer inspection they appeared to have suffered no real damage that couldn't be reversed.  Once
I found them, there was no question - they had to be restored and
rehung in their rightful places in the house. (One more reason to
delay nuking the kitchen.)As part of the upstairs sunroom re-build and the living room rehab, they've now been stripped, reglazed and repainted and the hardware has been cleaned up. The upstairs sunroom is now complete, the last shreds of pink have been eradicated from the master bedroom and the upstairs doors are in place. Ah, the wonders of Home Equity Lines of Credit! The living room is under some major construction at the moment (more of those epic shifts in priorities), so the two downstairs doors will be rehung once the new floors are stained and finished and the fireplace mantel is in place. |

They cleaned up better than I ever would have guessed.   |

Gotta love the hardware - and I wasn't even sure it could be salvaged!
