Recessed front door complete until installation
I cut two new sides from 1/4" plywood to fit the kit top piece to form the recess. This mimics the kit construction with taller side boards. The height of my first floor ceiling will be 10 1/2" so I cut another two side boards from 1/4" plywood measuring 10 1/2" long and glued them to the door frame. I also cut two boards to fill in the dead space above the front door recess.
I dabbed on matte gel medium using a foam brush onto the exterior surfaces of the recess after masking the gluing surfaces. Once dry, I added two coats of White Birch satin paint by Americana. This will be one of the main exterior house colors. I again dabbed the paint on with a foam brush. This texture has the appearance of fine plaster without the added weight, thickness or mess of stucco.
