Winter Wanderings 2012 - Day #11 - 2/6

This pleasantly warm day we designated as a day to "do stuff".  We demounted P&J's bedroom door, lightly planed where it was sticking & put it back.  We removed a conventional deadbolt and jointly climbed up the learning curve of installing one with a keylock on both sides (better for doors with breakable glass windows in reach of the locks).  While Pete started painting the two door edges we had planed I replaced another 2-lock deadbolt and also replaced an old regular lockset with a new one that matched.  By the end of the day the door edges had three coats and both locksets (removed to make the painting easier) had been replaced.

Jean & I went shopping, to Lowes for a floodlight replacement & two planters so that we can split and re-pot an old, rootbound spider plant that had been her grandmother's.  Since the standard size holder of the mini-chip in my camera was coming apart and giving me lots of troubles I bought a new conventional chip.  One more stop and we returned.  We replaced several floodlights and with me as ladder-man and they sitting in strategic places to see me adjust and set the holders to the right height and angle.

I managed to download all the pictures from my suspect chip and reload then on the new one so my camera is again good to go and all my trip pictures for temporary back-up.  It was a good, satisfying, and productive day and we are whittling down Jean's collection of "to do" post-it notes!
