Our electrician is moving some switches and fixing some unbalanced circuits. Casper is inspecting his work.

We have a pantry that has one of those latches with the little spring loaded roller wheels and the pin that clips between them when you close the door. It hasn't closed properly since we moved in, and I foolishly thought it would be a quick fix.

So, I bought a new pack of roller closures.

Then I went back to Bunnings today because apparently this, in the year of Our Lorde 2024, is the one product that still uses a straight screwdriver.

Now I'm going to have to go back to Bunnings for a drill bit because even though these are the same size roller clamps and look identical to what's in the cupboard, the screw holes are slightly further apart and I need to put a new hole in the door.

I was expecting it to take 10 - 15 minutes to change out all 3 closures, it's so far taken me 2 days and is about to take a 3rd.

To top it all off, my submissive is a carpenter. I could literally have just asked him to do it for me.

Wondering if this is even legally ok... Wtf.

Lucky I'm not in a wheelchair, I guess. If I was and had come home this night I wouldn't have gotten inside...

We're getting part of our house roof guttering replaced. Always fascinating to see how things like this is done/constructed.

That's all the softwood timber painted (for the garage roof apex). Well the first coat at least, because Weathershield needs two. If the weather's nice tomorrow (I'm hoping the Met Office forecast is wrong) then I'll be repairing the front of the garage!
If the weather's rotten, I might do some disc archiving instead.
Either way I'm happy the side timbers are all repaired. Just need to fit some new 22.5cm fence panels to tidy those up.
