With the new doorbell installed we decided to remove the louvered door between the hall and the kitchen (since we have never closed it in the two years we've lived here) and expose another wall.
The hallway feels so much larger and more open with the door gone, but that meant that we had some repair work to do to the door frame before we painted.
There was a very rough transition between the years of paint and the raw wood where the trim for the door was attached and we also had to do some repair work on the sections of the frame that were routed out for the hinges.
Andy glued in these makeshift shims so that we could sand everything flat and re-paint.
The areas were covered and clamped to ensure that the positioning was correct.
With all of the paint removed and the holes filled and sanded it was starting to look much better.
It looks even better now that it is primed and ready for paint.
You can't even see where the old hinges used to be.
