Yup, didn't have a clue it was painted over! So, then I got a bit curious and decided to figure out why my bathroom tiles were slightly raised over the threshold. Sure enough, they tiled over the old original floor tiles.

So these doors are really taking a while! One for the front closet, bedroom closet, bedroom and bathroom! It wouldn't be so bad if each door wasn't over 8' tall. I haven't even thought about the door frames yet!
