House Matters

This house business has definitely kept me busy. I was over there until after midnight on Friday piddling around with various items. The house had a different key for every lock (which meant having to deal with six keys). I bought a package at Lowes that had a full set (knob and deadbolt) of locks for three doors. So now I can use a single key for all doors (although I now have twelve copies of that key).

On Saturday my refrigerator was delivered. Interestingly enough, the delivery men were early and were there waiting for me when I arrived (they gave me a time between 2:30 and 4:30 but they showed up around 2:00). They got it hooked up, but we couldn't turn on the water to the icemaker. It appears that the previous owners closed the valve using pliers, making it impossible to open. So now I have to get a plumber to come out to replace the valve (I can do a number of home repairs myself, but plumbing is one of those things where it's worth it to me to get a professional).

I also bought a workbench at Sears on Saturday. It felt like it took forever to assemble the darn thing. I'm getting really tired of assembling stuff.
