Cedar shed door (lemmy.world)

This shed door had outlived its functional life and a client wanted it replaced. I asked "Do you want to just get it done or do it right?"

They picked the right option.

Beautiful, great work!

I don't know where this is, but that gap on the old did would let so many animals into the shed, the new door looks much better.

I hate having my shed smell like animal urine/nests.

They had barn cats to prevent rodents from setting up shop in there. I did TNR on those cats. Ended up keeping one of the kittens because the orange girl had absolutely zero instinct for surviving in the wild.

There is a second door on the back side of this building to a separate section that animals can still get into because the door is even worse than the old one here. We will be replacing that one in the spring.

It took me a very long time to do this because I every board on that needed three coats of clear coat. I have a limited workspace and a garage with no climate control. You can't apply clear coat if the temperature drops below 55 and I was having to run a space heater the whole time. Plus they're going to need time to financial recover from this.
