I watched a you tube video about painting a door that said the prep work was the most important step.

Apparently my prep work includes watching you tube instructional videos and reading articles via Pinterest on how to paint a front door.

Today's steps also included putting on my paint clothes and taking the "before" pictures.

Not sure when I'll do the actual painting.  Before that I have to wash the door.  And washing anything is not very appealing to me.  As I told Josh last night, "I'm lucky I wash myself.  I don't wash anything else. ... You're lucky I wash myself."
