100 yr old house progress

Going to do my best to restore this old screen door. Don’t know if it’s original of the house but it’s definitely old.

Hi Gene!
That looks like it belongs there!
Cool.. If it has some dry rot issues, and if your going to paint it, body shop filler ( bondo) works great to fill in the gaps. I have had great luck with it, besides managing a paint & body shop supply
Store, I and my customers have used it a lot for wood. It sands easily, and you can also get fiberglass filler, for real HD strength, should you need it….
Take care

Thanks for the advice. Gonna give it a try if I paint it. The owner wants no paint though so I’ll probably use plastic wood.

Now that’s awesome. Good luck on the restoration. Please show pictures of the process.

How did it go? Was it savable?

Restoring can take more time than starting new sometimes.
