On Saturday I continued to work on the front door. After my long run, a short nap, and a shower (in that order) I took the door down and brought it into the garage with Katie&#8217;s help. We again sealed up the open doorway similar to last week with a paint drop cloth and wood strips. By that time it was early afternoon. We applied the first coat of polyurethane and let it dry for six hours. Before bed I went out, sanded it, and applied a second coat. That night only a paint drop cloth covered the front door. On Sunday I got up early and applied a third coat to the entire door. Around noon I applied one more coat to the center panel of the door for added protection. Even before it was dry Katie and I carefully remounted the door.<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/1fifoto.com\/weblog\/images\/FinishedFrontDoor20081012.jpg\"\/><\/center>I think it looks even better now.

But it&#8217;s not just what other people think, instead and more importantly it&#8217;s what I think when I walk up and see how nice our front door looks and that makes me feel good inside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All week long I&#8217;ve noticed how nice the dark stain and the bright brass handles have looked when I walked up to the front door.
