This is my living room door. There are many like it. However, this one is mine 😉
Today, due to my wedging it open against the self closing mechanism, it popped off its hinges 🤬.
There comes a point in every woman's life when you have to acknowledge a heeled shoe, a table knife and brute force aren't very efficient. And also that your Dad won't be here forever ☹️.
So around 5 years ago I began purchasing my own tools 👏👏👏
Using said tools, some common sense and some swear words, I removed the door and then rehung it after swapping the screws for ones with larger diameter heads (the screws didn't fail, they were just too small). All.....on....my....own 🥳🎉🥹 The words used to describe this process are woefully inadequate.
I am unreasonably proud of myself and extremely surprised that the door actually fits in the frame and closes correctly.
An exciting day in an otherwise dull, uneventful existence.
Female, 44, UK 6 & 6.5 with a corresponding larger breast 😄 Can't quite work out how to refit the self closing mechanism 🙄
No banana for scale, used a nylon bacon flavoured dog chew instead 🤣
