So Saturday afternoon Brady got this great idea to restain our front door. It hasn't really looked that great and has had a problem with the old stain flaking off. I figured we might as well try and see what happens, if it didn't work at least I could justify getting a brand new door. So Brady set off for Lowes to buy the supplies and got started staining at about 3 o'clock. After 3 coats it was the right color and looked pretty good. We had the door open so that it could dry, well 8 o'clock that night the door is still pretty wet, so we set up a portable heater by the door so that it would dry a little faster. At 10 o'clock the door was still super wet so we shut the door as much as we could and Brady decided to sleep on the couch, just in case we had visitors in the middle of the night.
Sunday morning I figured it would be dry and we could head to church, well, wrong again. I went to YW by myself while Ellie had a nap and Brady hung out. It finally dried about 6 that night and we could finally shut the door and put the hardware back on . However, despite the inconvenience, the door looks fantastic and I wish we had done it years ago!!!
