Salvaging the Storm/Screen Doors

Last week just prior to departing DR Creek View we took off the doors from the River Room French Doors and loaded them into the pickup truck.  The doors were hung poorly and required a refit, and due to water getting into the joints were coming apart.  The thought was  “it easier to repair them in Richmond than trying to bring all of the necessary tools to the river.”

We are in the process of disassembly, repair and reassemble.  The doors will be repainted, fitted with new hardware, hinges and rehung.

Update (12/16/2014) –  Doors are complete and repainted all that remains is to pain the window inserts and then re-install the doors with the new hardware.

We will be posting completed photos.
