I did not wait for Becky's approval to get started on getting the back door fixed. First thing to do is to empty out the mini storage unit before the 1st. That's all the junk paint left over from countless jobs. Every single can and jug has some significance to me. When I look out at this I don't see old paint cans. I see old tombstones of dead jobs. Each and every one of them come from certain paint stores for specific jobs and specific customers, all of whom became very familiar to me, the good and the bad. I realize that respectfully closing up and clearing out all the dead stuff is very important. This is going to do us a world of good, getting rid of all that. That's all the paint material to be processed. There is much more junk to be got out and rid of.
It's going to be work for sure. All that old paint has to be solidified with cat litter and then the city will pick it up. The dirty paint thinner, which is settled has to poured into containers without residue. The residue which is settled out also is solidified with kitty litter. The city has a reclamation center for the clear solvent. Sitting where it is, I am highly motivated to be over and done with it.
It is surprising to me that the first action to take to fix the rotten spots on the back door is this.
This is what I've got to cure before the door is ruined:
My neighbor and I installed this door. It had to be custom made to fit the odd opening. It was very difficult to get in there and it was very expensive to have made. I only want to repair this with marine (boat) epoxy to extend it's life two years until we effect the improvements in the kitchen. That should be very possible if I can prevent the water from getting to it.
Closing the shop gets the money that buys the gutter that keeps the rain off the rotting door whose life must be saved.
