Hello
We put in all new doors in our house recently. Several months ago I had a Pharmacology class to teach at the University Center...locked my keys in the bedroom so was stranded. I shook and rattlled the door, no luck, tried the trick you see in mystery movies with the cards, no dice...so ah-la CSI decided to kick open the door. Now as a past ballet dancer (another talent) I have very strong legs and when I kicked the door...the whole thing went thump! open...yes! but the door and the frame were on the floor in the bedroom. I had to call my husband on the way to campus to inform him of my mess as he was scheduled to be home before I was and didn't want him to think we had been robbed. (I left the mess and cracked molding where it was and rushed to my students at school, how dedicated is that!)
Anyway...hubby decided instead of replacing the one door, we would replace all 15 of the doors in the house (he saw some snazzy new ones at Lowes). Count yours, there are more than you think counting bathroom, closests and such. It has now taken 8 months for him to get 14 in...our bathroom is still not done. I am tired of waiting for all to go in before painting and hope my energy will transfer to the man of the house and he will get the urge to replace the last door. So I am off, paintbrush and roller in hand to tackle the job...one I actually created for myself quite a whille ago. See you tomorrow...if anyone reads this. path
