went to finish the chicken soup, and noticed the oven was on, so I tried to open the door and the handle came right off…

it had been loosening before and I would just tighten it…

my housemate and I couldn’t put the handle back on because the oven was hot… we left it to cool and then tried again…

when we went to open it, the inside sort of separated… I was hoping this allowed us to get to the window that we could clean…

unfortunately, it was not the one, although we did clean this portion…

next he went out and bought some loctite to make sure the handle stayed on… we weren’t able to get to the really messed up window, but the important thing was to get the handle back on the door, which was being held closed by the stepstool…

now it is fixed… we will see if it comes loose again…

beat…

last week I put lights around the front windows…

it has been an interesting process as I used duct tape… sadly I’ve had to continuously press the tape back on as it doesn’t really want to stick…

anyway, after I finished I wanted some pictures so I put on my jacket, but left my slippers on as I was only going to be on the sidewalk…

once the pictures were taken I went to open the door and it wouldn’t… my heart skipped a beat as I stood there – in my slippers…

I tried a few times, but it just would not open… by chance I turned the handle up which was the opposite direction than normal and it opened… whew…

talked to my son-in-law, who suggested WD40, but that didn’t work… had to put a note on the door, lol…

my grandson and I picked up a new handle and he was able to change it without a problem…

a tiny piece of plastic broke off which is what caused the issue…

happy to have it working properly again;-)…
