This is truly random:
Any words of wisdom when it comes to painting a steel external door? Our front door gets baked every afternoon so the paint's peeling up badly -- thus I must repaint -- but I'd rather do this as infrequently as possible (preferably once). I'm having a slow week so can devote the time to actually doing this right.
BSH, you're a general-contractor type, what brands/mixtures/methods you recommend? Anybody else with clue?
Otherwise it's me, a power sander, and the nice people at Home Despot.

If you cannot Debauch because you get an IP blacklist error, try Debauching again time. It may work immediately, it may take a few attempts. It will work eventually, I don't think I had to click debauch more than three times. Someone is overzealous at our hosting company, but only on the first couple of attempts.

Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.
All I can do it button the hatches, and tighten up a few things. Such as time limits on how long you may take to compose a post and hit Debauch! As of 24/01/10, I've set that at 30 minutes for now.

By forcing anyone who wants in to Log In.
Is that annoying?
Yes. But there's only so much the Administerrerrerr can do to keep this place running.

First fix:
Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.
Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!
- open the menu at the top
- hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
- go back to the Forum Index
- open the menu at the top again
- click Mark forums read
this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.

Re: PAINTING A DOOR
I personally hate painting and thus have devoted my career to advising on entirely grey concrete buildings in lieu of frippery like colors or style. I will ask the painters on my current project, but typically we use an industrial enamel paint. Lowe's or HD will probably have a Rustoleum product similar to it. Oil based paint will wreck your paint brushes and will make you sick with the smell while it cures, but its tough as nails when it dries. You would want to avoid direct sunlight when you paint it and for as long as possible afterwards, so maybe build a little tarpaulin tent over your door while you do this, but MAKE SURE IT IS VENTILATED like leave the sides open or something. Refer to my previous statement regarding smell, those vapors will literally make you small and knock your ass out.Jaeger wrote:This is truly random:

Re: PAINTING A DOOR
I found this thread and, man, was I confused.
The title and the thread author, didn't compute.
Painting. That's Peter's thing, innit? Why is Bill encasing a door in inches and inches of paint?! Is that maybe some kind of romantic gesture for Mishka, what with the trade she's in?
Piccini, how would you go about painting such a door?

If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

Heh, I've already screwed that up -- I stripped it down to bare metal. Bad start for one of Piccini's projects.DerGolgo wrote:
