This presented a bit of a challenge as the door needed to not only be good looking, but also weatherproof, which required weatherstripping, a solid threshold and a better attention to fit as everything needs to seal up nicely.<\/p>\n<p>A few emails later and a trip up to get the door for matching, I was back on site fitting the new door, threshold and weatherstripping. The results were quite nice.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><em><strong>&quot;Hey Hunter.

With the install, I was able to remove everything back to the frame and sand everything flush for a new, smooth finish as well as fill in as many holes and defects as possible. It&#039;s always nice to start from a clean slate.<\/p>\n<p>The door features the &quot;Redneckmodern&quot; combo of knob, escutcheon, deadbolt, satin-nickel hinges&#8230; and in this case, aluminum door sweep and threshold. The old door has weatherstripping that was screwed to the exterior trim, but with the new install, I used &quot;kerf-in&quot; weatherstripping which is installed under the door stop and is more hidden from view (and ultimately a better seal).<\/p>\n<p>Nicola and Wilson chose the color (Citronette) from the Behr palette. As usual we used Behr Ultra Exterior (Matte)* and the coverage was even more impressive than usual. On a light, bright color like this, I was expecting to have to do up to six coats, but I think this might be three at most&#8230; plus, the matte finish cleans up well, touches up well and has a nice, soft sheen that complements the overall verve quite well. (*Worth noting: I&#039;m fully aware that Behr is not the choice of most pros, but through trial and error, this has proven to work well over and over \u2014 better than many &quot;pro&quot; paints&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redneckmodern.com\/2010\/06\/cover-the-earth.html\">but do not try the semi-gloss version<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_1423\" border=\"0\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345166b769e201b8d16ca0d1970c image-full img-responsive\" src=\"\/redneckmodern\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/6a00d8345166b769e201b8d16ca0d1970c-800wi.jpg\" title=\"IMG_1423\" \/><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#160;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wilson dropped me a note a few weeks back.
