today, as we were heading out to do a few errands, the doorknob came off in my grandson’s hand as he was locking the door…

so, besides the planned errands, we also went to Home Depot to get a new handle for the door…

I was very happy that this happened when he was home as I wasn’t sure that I could fix it…

once we returned home, my fancy screwdriver came out, pieces were removed from the door…

the new pieces were installed…

and voila, a beautiful new handle on the door…

it feels much sturdier, and although the handle is a bit stiff, I think the door is closing and locking better;-)…

I’ve been careful to hold this pail on the bottom as well as with the handle because I’ve wondered how long it will hold… I use it to add water to the fish tanks when they are a bit low…

today I got the answer…

this morning, I was on my third trip and just as I went to pour it into the big tank, it snapped and water went everywhere…

what a mess… drapes, wine bottles, tiles, front of drawers, the floor… everything was soaked… and one of the tiles broke… I am going to have to see if there is one left in the garage that size…

so, everything that could be moved was, the water was sopped up and the space was left to dry… tomorrow I will put everything back…

guess I will be looking for a new pail, lol…

tonight I popped outside to fill the feeders on the deck… I didn’t think I needed my gloves, but didn’t take into account the outside door handle…

I did have on my toasty warm boots which I have now put under the fish tank to keep warm…

so much better than in the front landing…
