New doorknobs!


New doorknob

John and I have been doing a bunch of little random things around the house this weekend, as usual. One of the things I did was finally finish replacing all the doorknobs upstairs. I started about a month ago by doing two, and finished off the other two. John put on all the strike-plate thingies (they were bigger than the old ones, and he had to dremel away some of the frame in order for them to fit. And put epoxy in the old holes so he had something to screw into), and so now all the doors upstairs close perfectly :) yay.

Oh, that's the bathroom door in the picture and you can see in the background that there are now TWO switches out there - one for the lights and one for the brand new fan!!! I'll take a picture of it all (the new lights are SO pretty!) once I do all the touch-up paint, because I'm a perfectionist and don't want you seeing it until it's complete.

I've also prepped the dining room for painting, but decided not to start actually painting because I'm afraid it will take more than a day, and as I'll be in CT next weekend, I didn't want it sitting around with just one coat forever.
