My doors are the plain old (HEAVY) wood doors, but look like a rat gnawed on them. <BR/><BR/>Should I trust wood putty to fill on the bizarre gaps and gouges? If I strip and repaint them, will they take away from the value of the house? Ideally, I'd love to patch and rehang them, but need advice on how to make them a little more presentable in case any VIPs come to visit me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120556725321553762.post-33405369555460670212007-07-04T18:25:00.000-04:002007-07-04T18:25:00.000-04:00HiYou left a comment on the Cotton On Quilters blo...Hi<BR/><BR/>You left a comment on the Cotton On Quilters blog.

Not enough to pay shipping and handling on sending them (plus taxes on winning them), anyway. <BR/><BR/>You, however, apparently DO need them. <BR/><BR/>(Sorry if you were hoping for old ugly doors to replace your new uglies. But at least this way you'd get new pretties.)EGEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00413356156587831974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120556725321553762.post-49344205633297278102007-06-30T12:05:00.000-04:002007-06-30T12:05:00.000-04:00heeheeYup, I caught that part, and emailed them.

And I saw your name on their site as the first contestant entered. <BR/><BR/>I'll make you a deal: You win and get these cool new doors, I'll pay shipping to get your original "needs work" doors shipped to me, if I can use them anywhere. <BR/><BR/>And that grill thing?? Two years ago we bought a grill and put this one part on before we were supposed to and had to dismantle half of it. A few weeks ago we bought almost the same grill (since we had to leave the old one behind in the house we sold) and yes, of course, we put the same part on before we were supposed to and had to pull it all apart again.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03534347532506541550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120556725321553762.post-36167056213136519722007-06-30T11:46:00.000-04:002007-06-30T11:46:00.000-04:00Just making sure you know -- you've got send them ...Just making sure you know -- you've got send them an email with a link to your blog before you're officially entered in the contest. You probably knew that, because you probably read things through before you do them.
