Handy Dandy

Yesterday I really was going to work. Honest. I had this time set aside and I was going to buckle down and get to writing my painfully boring educationally informative articles for Remilon. But I couldn't stop looking around my apartment at all the things that needed to be done. So, I decided to take matters into my own handy hands and here's what happened:

1. I installed a new doorknob on our inner door so that it will latch and keep out the frigid entryway air.
2. I hung our smoke detector. Sounds easy, right? But look at the size of the instructions for the smoke detector compared to the size of the instructions for the doorknob installation! Good grief. I absolutely did not read them. I wrote my own: Insert battery, push test button, nail onto wall.

3. The main event: I installed the handles on our cupboards that I have been going crazy without! We have been wedging our fingers on the sides of the drawers for months now to pry them open and I had just had enough. So, I did it!

Tada! I am super proud and so relieved to have them done. If you can't tell by my crazy drill-face. :)
