I was in a conversation with my friend Jeff, at a housewarming, last weekend. He was talking about painting his porch. But not just painting, because he can’t…
I rehung (rehanged?) door #4, today. It was one of those doors that took a bit of encouragement to latch shut. Besides the heavy layers of paint, it…
