Finally the humidity has let up and, luckily, I had the day off today! So I took the back door out to the car port and got to work. The first job today was to sand the whole thing down
So now the window is in, and the door is primed - the next (and hopefully last) time you hear about this door, it'll be done!!
Then I used one of those small rollers and primed:
Then I had to replace one of the window panes I broke while stripping the door. I went to the local hardware store, but they didn't carry 1/4" thick glass (I had no idea door glass was so thick, although it makes sense!), so I had to go to a local glass place (I guess it's a store, but I never think of places like this as stores). The guy at the hardware store told me to bring my first born child and my best car because 1/4" thick glass was expensive. But, as it turns out, it only cost $9! The problem was though - while attempting to remove the glass, I broke one of the window stops, so I had to fabricate my own. It wasn't that big a deal, I just ran some decorative base molding through the table saw and - wallah! Window stop!
