I repaired a sticking door to the garage today. Now it opens freely and effortlessly when you turn the knob.

    What is it with doors? Doors suck. Every door I own sucks at being a door. They either don’t close right or don’t open right. I could be a door better than these 50 year old hollow core planks.

      Oh you know it. More than anything, it’s just a matter of making the frame square. Take the time to check things with a level. If not, then start pulling the trim and making adjustments. It’s not hard, you just bite the bullet and do it. Then you get the satisfaction of fixing something… until the house shifts again, lol.

        My ancestors are the fools who build their house upon the sand. There aren’t any straight lines or right angles on this house. I bet it wouldn’t even burn worth a fuck.
