Carolyn Braden says "Stripping the Front Door.....Can't Wait Until I am Finished!"

Here is how far I am on stripping the front door.  I am using a heat gun and scraping small amounts away at a time.  I am on day two so I think I've done pretty well for my first time doing this.  There are little intricate wooden flowers along the glass underneath all the thick, ugly, chipping black paint.  Why, oh, why would someone paint over such a beautiful door!?!?  When I am finished stripping it, we will sand it and and varnish it.  It will be so beautiful!
