So, the installer of the door completed his work at the point where some, but not all, of the caulking was done with the base boards and crown molding around the door frame were installed.
The first thing that we had to do was to install the plugs in the holes within the frames of the window inserts caused by the screws used to install the window inserts. You didn’t think that the installer would do this for your, did you? Notice the holes in the lower frame of the glass insert in the picture below:
The plugs come attached to a pin-wheel which you simply detach.
These plugs come in two types, those which are to be used for the holes in the corner of the window frames and those which are to be used in the holes along the side of the window frames. They are very easy to install with a simply firm push.
Next, I applied additional caulking around the gaps between the side lights on either side of the door and the door frame. I wanted to have a sealed look.
The next day (to give the additional caulking time to sufficiently dry) I applied painters tap to the wall around the newly installed door frame and above the base boards on either side of the door frame, as well as the tiled floor beneath the base boards.
I’m now ready to begin painting.
Next time, we will discuss the actual painting.
