Hey! I said DON"T SLAM THE DOOR! Dad I think I....
 

Broke the window:whine: Ok now you know why dad has told you about a million times not to slam the door! :tms:

The door is old and many slams of the door had weakened the leaded glass to the point to rattling when shut. My daughter slammed her hand on the window when her friend was makink faces on the other side. The lead stretched and bowed and several glass pieces cracked. I tore the door apart and flattened the glass back out. I can't afford a new door at the time so I fixed it the best I could. I flipped the broken window and swapped it over to the hinge side of the door. I had new glass panels cut to cover the leaded panes. I bought an extra trim piece anticipating a mistake. I used it and still had to go get another. I used a casing trim backwards (Thick side in, thin side out) My brain could not get past that and I wasted some wood.:waah: Oh well it's almost done. I appreciated my little portable air tank today.

The air tank lasted the entire job with no sign of slowing. Guessing I maybe used about 50 brads.

That`ll do.Looks great!Dang chil`ins and wife can be hard on the equipment.At least mine always were."You gotta feel it,don`t force it".I always would say.
I`ve been catching up on repairs and loose ends I never got to around here,with all my "spare" time (for my sanity`s sake).:cool:

For some reason my wife thinks she has to slam the door on my truck every time she rides in it.

Good work SOM, you kept it looking great.

my oldest son ruined a closet door a while back from slamming it. I took his bedroom door to replace it while I fixed the other. of course it took a few days. now he is more gentle.
