North Side Rejuvenation



Our home in 2009 did need some work


Compressing the adhesive sprayed fiberglass
tape with a window blind slat and scrap wood

The edge of the doorjamb has been
sealed with fiberglass wallboard tape




The sprayed fiberglass tape slightly overlaps
the edge of the old wood trim










An 'antique' steel door bottom weatherstrip
strap has long since lost its rubber flap

Adhesive sprayed fiberglass tape seals
the door bottom

Once painted, the adhesive sprayed fiberglass
wallboard tape will become permanent










The fiberglass tape locks the plywood against
the old wooden door top framing



Talk









All door hardware has been set aside for now

Painting the doorjamb's fiberglass tape
turns it into a permanent seal

Using Home Depot's Behr 'Swiss Coffee' paint








Doorjamb latch hole taped and painted


The original tin cap covers and protects
the fiberglass tape under it from wear

Spilled and recovered the can of paint
with a coal shovel real quick

A well placed tarp is a good idea















Our home in 2017, taped back together ...

and repainted
