My man -- kicking doorknob butt

One of the things we knew in buying the house is that some of the doors did not close too well -- either they were hung wrong or doorknobs were not put on properly. This weekend Mike decided to tackle this problem. Whoa ! What a pain in the butt it turned out to be but my very smart man prevailed over the smart ass doorknob (Mr. Doorknob above) and now we have a bedroom door that closes and locks !

Plus -- we have "pocket doors" in our bathroom. Saves space but another very problematic door. It kept coming off the track so after Mike trying this, that and the other he finally showed it who was boss and it is now back on the track and in no danger of coming off.

Next butt kicking for the week -- The wallpaper in the dining room. Mike said he feels like he needs to be doing more in the house during the week soooooo I showed him how to take off wallpaper. It is very fun to do -- not. :)

Me -- I get to meet with more burly contractors this week on the work we want done and deal with with a roofer installing our new attic fan. Whee !
