Well I took the door off the hinges and removed the old latch.
Put the door and the old handles back on
The door can be opened but will not latch for now.
The door can be locked so it functions.

They no longer make just the latching assembly, so I will need to drill the door for a new handle assembly.

Another weekend project lol

Oh gosh,, what a project!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nikki-

Your pictures are great! I just "introduced" you, Steve and Jordan to DH as he was sitting here choking on his dinner. And no, I didn't make the dinner for him so it wasn't my cooking that about killed him.

We end on June 18th but start on Aug 27th

We don't have a fall break so maybe that's the difference? We received a letter today from the superintendent that all Kindergartners have to go on Friday June 5th, while the other kids will be done on the 4th. Apparently they missed an additional day. I've already warned Gwynne about the extra day, so when that day comes she won't be upset about having to go back. It's not like they'll be doing anything that day anyway.

We start school after Labor Day and usually get out the second week of June. But we had 5 snow days so we are not getting out till June 20th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Samantha! Prom?! How exciting! Do you have your dress already? Good luck with the exams.

That bites Kristin! Did you have 5 additional snow days or 5 total? We have 5 "calamity" days and only have to make up anything beyond that.

Even though I haven't answered your e-mail yet did you by chance send an e-mail out today? If you don't mind, could you do that? I'm curious to know.

We had five total days. Oh well, the kids will do nothing on those five days anyways!!!!!!!!!!

I just sent the email. So I'll let you know I bet I hear tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning Harry! And anyone else out there!

Harry - tonight is do or die, eh? You going to the game? Pens look like a team on a mission with the way they are playing defense.

Hope everyone is having a great week. We are gearing up for the girls' recital this Sunday. Dress rehearsal on Friday. DD9 is doing her first solo this year. Dad's going to cry!

Happy Thursday!

Hi, everyone!
We are joining the group on the 7 Night Eastern to Tortola.
We just got off a 3 Night on the Wonder on Sunday morning and after (1) 4 Night back in December 2006 and this 3 Night, we decided to take the plunge and book a 7 Night!
Most of the 7 Night cruises that fit in our kids' school schedules were crazy priced, around $10K for (2) Category 10's (Summer, Christmas, Spring Break), but this one worked well for us at the end of the Summer for around $5800.
Florida has this rule about not starting school any earlier than 2 weeks prior to Labor Day, but that falls on September 7th in 2009, so school won't start until August 24th.
We'll get back just a few days before school and the kids (DS14 will be starting High School, DS11 will be starting Middle School, and DD9 will be going into 4th grade) will miss their school orientations, but no actual school days.
We had a great little group on our 3 Night with 8 families participating in an FE exchange. I'd love to do this again (maybe in small, broken up groups or just one gift per family?) and also have a few meets. I was brave enough to sing karaoke at one of our group meets and that was a lot of fun!
If you have kids near my kids' ages, as we get closer, maybe they can email each other. With the longer cruise, I'm sure they will spend more time in the clubs!
We are very excited to be going on the 7 Night, but I think afterwards, we won't want to go back to the shorter cruises ... We'll be spoiled!
Later,
Rose
