Day 862

I woke up a little before 8 and surfed until 8:30.  Then it was pet stuff and breakfast.  When Ellen was finished we went to ACE to buy the hardware I needed to complete the bathroom door.  Of course they had everything I needed, and it cost $8 instead of $35 from Amazon.

When we got home I went out to the garage to work on the door.  I used the washers I bought to finally bolt the wheels to the door.  Then I had Ellen show me where she wanted the door handles.  I very carefully measured it out and cut the hole on one side of the door.  I used the Dremel. Why does just about any project I do involve the Dremel?

It took some fine tuning, but the handle fit the hole I cut perfectly.  By then it was almost 1, so I went in and had lunch.  After lunch I didn't really feel like going back outside, so I surfed for a couple of hours.  That recharged me and I went out and cut the second hole in the door.  That went quicker because I knew what to do.  When I was finished they lined up perfectly.  Then I drilled the screw holes and attached the door handle (the second one isn't here yet).  Everything lined up.

There were only two problems.  First, two of the screws that I bought are too short.  I'll need the right ones before I can attach the second handle.  Second, I munged up the door in some places and Ellen will have to do some touch up.

When I finished with the door I did my exercises and took the dog to the mailbox.  Dinner was leftover Kung Pao.

The evening was TV and reading.
