No. 2: Doorknobs

May19

Ok, so I finished my second project. New doorknobs (antique brass): all the bedrooms, bathrooms and the back door to the garage. Why haven’t I gotten my wife to take pictures of my projects for my blog?

Lessons Learned:

  1. If you have several of something to do, do the most hidden one first and the most important one last.
  2. Buying the right tools just might save you money in the long run.

I know those might seem obvious; but I’m new at this, so cut me some slack.

It was fun interesting trying to install that junk with just a Gerber and some 3×5 cards (don’t ask).

    Oh yeah, project numbero uno: cabinet safety locks. It was actually more difficult than the doorknobs.

    Who’s getting into the cabinets? And where do you keep your guns? Once you have a house you need to get a gun. Pretty much hand in hand. Or a potato canon.

    Nobody’s gettin’ into the cabinets…yet. It was for our foster license; in case we get younger kids.

    Speaking of guns. I saw a gov’t issued .45 at a yard sale last weekend. O.o Kind of a scary way to sell a handgun, no?

    It depends if you plan to carry it concealed. Then I would go with the garage sale gun purchase.
