tried again to level the toilet paper holder…

took a bit of time and a number of tools…

took it off the wall, unscrewed the fasteners, drilled the holes slightly bigger and then hammered in a little plastic piece before reinserting the screws;-)…

was slightly injured in the process…

maybe it will stay level…

been having trouble keeping one of the medicine cabinet doors closed for the last few weeks…

I thought it was because the magnet on the mirror was separating from the plastic behind it…

the other morning I looked at it and thought it was no longer level…

at which point I discovered that the plastic where the door attached to the cabinet had broken… it took two of us to remove the broken cabinet…

what a treat to discover my beloved’s handwritten measurements inside the hole🤗…

after measuring the space, it was off to Home Depot to see if we could find something that would fit into the hole in the wall… and of course I needed two, sigh…

we found a cabinet that should work, but the store we were at didn’t have any in stock, so it meant another trip… after trying two other stores it was off to Rona, where we found two of the same cabinet at an even better price;-)…

it has been fourteen years since my beloved installed these cabinets when we redid the bathroom, so I guess it did pretty well, being opened more than ten thousand times, lol… that wasn’t a bad run…

and, just like that we have two new cabinets, although the space inside them is smaller, but they will work fine;-)…

for the first time since my beloved left me, I was able to change a lightbulb in the bathroom…

doesn’t sound like much, but I have tried numerous times without success and had to call in the cavalry to fix the problem…

but, I did it;-)…

felt like one of those big girl pants moments…

the bar on the inside of the shower fell off… as in broke;-(…

it looks like I will have to find a piece to go onto the end of one side…

the doors were put in in 2009, so I am worried as to whether we will be able to find this piece, but I use this bar all the time…

wish me luck…
