My guess is that you will get some other responses from folks who have lived here longer than we have. BTW, our 4 year old door is perfectly good but DW wants a glass inset...a happy wife means a happy life!

I think 'retail' on our new door was around $1100 for the unfinished unit plus install and finish so saving a couple hundred on the price was appreciated. I've seen similar doors on display at the big boxes(special order) for $1400(including finish). garage door sales baton rougeWe're in Avery Ranch where some of the homes/doors are 4-5 years old and need refinishing(our current door is sealed with a spar varnish and would need refreshing ~yearly--two hours worth--less than a pint of varnish--BUT it is protected from rain and gets 'some' sun). garage door parts norfolk vaI'll probably reseal it before our new one arrives--I'll try to sell it to a neighbor.barn doors for sale denver

They recommend 19 hours between coats. For all practical purposes I have always applied one coat per day until I built up 4 coats. I have read recommendations from other varnish experts saying you can apply another coat after 2 hours or so, when your dry finger slides easily across the surface (no tackiness). But they still recommended you let the previous coats cure overnight before applying the final coat.

UV sunlight, is what makes most wood finishes fail after extended exposure. On a boat any varnish constantly exposed to sunlight usually has to be redone every year. On a house where the door is protected beneath an overhang you can go much longer. My front door under an overhang on the North side gets very little direct sunlight, it has been 4 years since it was varnished and I'm getting ready to do it soon. We had the house painter do it when we bought the house, he did it all in one day and I suspect applied only 2 coats, but it has held up longer then I expected it to.

Edition: U.S. / Global Toting Up the Costs Published: March 27, 1994 THE cost of renovation varies within even the simplest category -- for example, skim coating a new wall with plaster and then painting it can triple the cost of just painting it; four-panel solid wood doors are at least twice as much as hollow-core doors. Doing advance research so you can tell the contractor or craftsperson exactly what you want saves time, money and aggravation. Following is a list of average costs for some common renovation tasks: Refinishing old plaster walls having small cracks: With "skim coating" (covering the walls with a thin coat of new plaster), figure about $1,000 to $1,500 for an average size bedroom (200 square feet). This does not include painting, which can range from $750 to $1,500, depending on the painter. The cost rises if ceilings are so high that the painters need scaffolding. Refinishing drab oak strip floors: About $2 per square foot. Building in a wall of closets: If the apartment or house was built before World War II there is probably a dearth of closets.

Often the best way is to dedicate an end wall in a bedroom, and run closets across the expanse. For a 12-foot wall of closets, using three solid wood doors, sheet rock and a plaster skim coat and installing closet poles, an overhead hat shelf and a bare light bulb, the cost can range from $3,000 to $4,000 -- and a great deal more for custom doors and elaborate fittings. Installing new bathroom fixtures: For good quality white fixtures -- a standard height two-piece toilet, a pedestal sink and a five-foot cast-iron tub with chrome "economy" fixtures -- the total cost is $775. Fees for a licensed plumber vary, but expect to pay at least $1,000 to switch over, and don't forget to have the plumber figure in the cost of removing and disposing of the old fixtures. Installing new kitchen cabinets: For a 10-foot wall of upper and lower cabinets, the price ranges from $600 for the cheapest white formica veneered chip board to $10,000 or more for custom bleached oak. Countertops can run from $7 a running foot 24 inches deep (for white laminate) to $110 a running foot of 3/4 inch, square-edged polished burgundy granite, not counting sink cutouts, backsplash or installation.
