just completed some successful weekend home repair

*Unrolls sleeves and relaxes*

I didn't destroy my two doors, successfully installed a locking entry handle from the garage (was desperately needed, other handle was interior w/ no lock)

installed deadbolt on front door

Ahhhh nothing feels better then getting a job done!

Good job!

I fixed the bottom seal on my garage door today in this -20 degree weather and then tore apart the dryer to retrieve an object that had fallen inside the lint trap. Yesterday I painted the bathroom.

I learned that my roof leaks when covered in ice and snow.

I believe those are called Ice Dams. repairing your shingles or making sure you have a bottom wrap under the shingles can prevent it

I usually don't have that problem because my roof is really simple and ice usually doesn't build up anywhere....plus the roof isn't all that big lol

Always fun to get some stuff done around the house. I don't know what my parents will do when I move out. My mom is not too bad but my dad is FAR from handyman. He freaks out at the sight of "assembly required". Watching him figure out how to put shelves together is always amusing.
