home
we arrived home from hawaii to find a fat cat and a broken door. apparently the nice little old lady next door fed the cat a heaping bowl of food three times a day. usually she gets half a bowl once. the door was strange. apparently it was originally hung marginally. and apparently it shifted a couple of millimeters so now the latching bolt catches on the strike plate instead of securing itself. shimming the hinges would have been a pain. as would moving the strike plates for the latch and the dead bolt. and i certainly didn't want to shift the top of the house 3 mms more north of the bottom of the house. i fired up the dremel tool i got for christmas and took a few mms off the strike plate. works again. weird how i suddenly have uses for a tool i never new i needed.
