When the door doesn't fit and you fall through the ceiling......part one



So these pictures are from last Saturday when we started tackling one of the many projects that we want to get done before Maverick's arrival. The boys and I went to a "measurement event" for a research study that Chandler and I are a part of. While we were gone, Derek got started on re-hanging the master bathroom door. We have had an accordion style door on this bathroom for more than a year so we could shut it with a pack-in-play inside. This was Brighton's napping spot while the boys were sharing the "nursery" Now that Brighton is napping in the nursery and Chandler has quiet time in the big boy room, we no longer need to have a pack-in-play in the bathroom. That's nice!
Derek managed to rehang the door in the opposite direction that it was hung previously (it now opens up into the bedroom instead of into the bathroom). The boys immediately got their tools and "helped" dad with all the hammering and chiseling. Unfortunately, the door is much larger than the opening and will need to be cut down to size with tools we don't have. Fortunately, our neighbor, Gerry has offered to help us out this coming Sunday to get the door to fit.

On another note, I mis-stepped in the attic last night and fell though the ceiling. Whoops! Luckily, only one foot came through the ceiling and it was in the master bedroom closet. Also, I wasn't hurt badly, only scraping up my leg that went through the floor. Now on Sunday Derek and Gerry will be fixing the door and the ceiling. I still can't believe I did that, but at least it's not that bad and can hopefully be fixed easily. Look for part two for more details.....
