Omg guys I have gone to a 4/10 from a 1.5/10. Need to apply another coat of paint but we're getting there 😳
Link to photo: https://i.imgur.com/lv7iuLQ.jpg
mmm, unless you look really closely at the door - you can't see the little divot but hopefully it's gone with the second coat of paint. Else, do I wait for paint to dry and putty+sand again?
Looks a bit more noticeable here, but you wouldn't see it if it wasn't exactly what you're looking for. Sorry not sure why the photo is rotated
That does look much better - good job!
This photo is crashing the Boost app too though ☹️ . Is it possible for you to change it to a link instead?
Thanks! I think I know why. Its an Imgur upload so maybe that's why it's crashing. Let me try changing it.
Thanks, that stopped the crashing. I might play around in the testing community and try and figure out why it is crashing if I can.
I use Memmy on my iPhone and it gives me two options - upload via aussie.zone and upload via imgur. This particular img didn't upload via aussie.zone so I went with imgur. Hope that helps with your debugging!
I have been trying to figure out how you uploaded it to show the image and I can't replicate that, so I'm not sure how Memmy is doing the code. It will have to remain a mystery for now!
Mmm I upload image, it fails and gives me these options.
I has to be something to do with how Memmy saves the image on Imgur. I found the right link to the Imgur images so I can put in the coding for my own photo hosted on Imgur and it works fine, but any link to yours crashes Boost. I can open the picture in the app when it is a link, but it can't open it within the comments. No idea why, but I have at least narrowed it down!
That is fantastic! Nice work. You gotta paint the entire front of the door and you’ll be sweet.
Is that necessary? Can I get away with just this side? I mean I have extra paint, no harm but if not needed then am happy to skip!
Just this side. Mask off the door edges and handle, then roller on the paint. Put newspaper/cardboard under door to catch stray drips & splatter. Don't walk paint drips into the carpet. Damage never happened.
Sorry I meant the side you took the photo of so yes that would be the back of the door. Paint the entire backside.
🎉 nice work
That’s great, and at least at 7/10
That is looking good
Actually better than some of the rush jobs I did
