They're actually re-doing the entire entry way around it so they didn't want to start another renovation with the new baby and the winter on its way. Its sitting in their basement and the project will finally finish in the spring. I'll keep you posted.<br />cheers!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416979406500241671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6688442226358931965.post-59364100637941360282010-01-05T23:12:29.712-06:002010-01-05T23:12:29.712-06:00Tom,

I imagine that the environment in Toronto is pretty harsh though. Thanks for the information. Is there any chance that you'll post a photo of the installed door? I'd love to see it in context. <br /><br />-AnthonyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05769877288493295641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6688442226358931965.post-27578288010294312072010-01-03T15:43:27.322-06:002010-01-03T15:43:27.322-06:00Anthony,

Here is what they say about it:<br /><br />For exterior applications, the Exterior 450 Polyurethane produces a tough, water-resistant finish that is flexible enough to endure wood movement from changes in temperature and humidity. It contains a mildewcide to inhibit mold and mildew growth. Unlike oil-based finishes, these varnishes deepen the tone without imparting an amber color to light surfaces. <br /><br />As for the upkeep...I told my clients we'd have an anual 'door re-finishing day'. They supply the beer and I'll come over once a year to give the door a fresh coat!<br />cheers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416979406500241671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6688442226358931965.post-81151189419705588692010-01-02T23:16:25.412-06:002010-01-02T23:16:25.412-06:00Tom,

This kind of work really emphasizes the difference between custom crafted details and the usual slap-dash application of standard moldings. <br /><br />Gorgeous results!Bob Eastonhttp://bob-easton.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6688442226358931965.post-81749615749708436672009-10-02T07:01:15.062-05:002009-10-02T07:01:15.062-05:00Another awesome post.
Enjoying this journey.....
...Another awesome post.<br />Enjoying this journey.....<br /><br />Could I ask how you decided on the sizing of your H+R set? Did you talk to Philly Planes about this specific job or just make a best guess on what sizes you might need? <br />I seem to remember a shot in an earlier post showing sizes 4,8,10 & 12 which, given the range of sizes available historically, seems a small set. Did you find yourself wishing you had additional options.<br />Looking forward to seeing this door in-situ.<br />Regards,<br /> simonmsimonmnoreply@blogger.com
