Random Irritations

We had a new carpet fitted in my daughter's bedroom a month or so ago. She doesn't live with us anymore but she'll be back for Christmas. The new carpet is quite thick in comparison to the previous one and the door is effectively wedged.

After ignoring this today is the day to sort it. I was going to remove the door and sand the bottom until it is okay but laying in bed last night I thought I could simply swap the door with another one which I know we sanded some years ago. Much easier.

Both doors removed, I carry the sanded door up. The joiner fitted the hinges at different heights 🤦.

"Measure twice, carry once" 😁

Unlucky.

I got part way through your posts and thought…🤔 hinge height… :ROFLMAO: Been there, got the t-shirt:ROFLMAO:
 
I remember helping my Old Man with replacing the head gasket on his Maxi back in the 70s.... :ROFLMAO: 😬
My Old Man bought a Morris 1000 in the late 60's.
I bought a socket set and a torque wrench and stripped the engine out of sheer curiosity. You could even get the wings off.
If you needed parts the "scrap yard" would have it.
 
You can pay a higher fee to go ad free, you can avoid them. For me, it's white noise so I'll pay less and just ignore the adverts.
That YouTube recently changed things so that I could just skip an ad altogether is a pain…most of the time I can’t be bothered waiting 50s or whatever for ads to run…I often just quit what I was watching. Truth is I only watch most YouTube stuff out of a passing interest and so am not really bothered. Might consider paying to go ad-free but doubt it.

I'm late to the YouTube party, a common theme for me in many things. I usually join a trend just as everyone else is moving on 😄. At some point I'll drop in for something other than a 'how to do' DIY clip. I gambled slightly in my post, assuming it was the same set up as Netflix, which I do have.

Are you sure you didn’t just have the door upside down? 😂
 
Don’t think I could live in a house where a joiner had deviated from 6 down, 9 up… that would drive me insane.

My father-in-law hung a door for us. You could open and close the door with a featherlight touch. He’d been a cabinet maker. I’ve never seen so many different planes & chisels.

Some of the toys he knocked out for the grandkids were an absolute delight, and many look like he did them yesterday, not 35 years ago.

There’s diyer’s, like me, and then there’s craftsmen.
