I am pretty excited about hanging my first door. It will be a 24-inch-wide flat hollow door on the bathroom at my student ghetto project and I have the old broken door to use as a pattern. I got the door tonight at Lowes, hauling it to the site in my old Chrysler by sticking it through the passenger window and holding it over my head while I drove. Luckily it was dark and I didn’t have to get close to anything on the right. Couldn’t do that with a wider door, and definitely won’t be able to do it with the 30-inch prehung I’m gonna need for one of the bedrooms.

Also got a 10-pack of ceiling tiles, probably about a tenth of the amount I’ll need to finish the whole place, both floors. I plan to salvage whatever existing tiles that have anywhere close to the same hole pattern as the new ones, and give both the old and new ones a quick coat of Walmart flat white wall paint.

Those two purchases blew the budget for the weekend. Looking forward to my work day tomorrow.

Did get an unexpectedly early rent payment from the new roomer at the brick house. He was supposed to move in mid-month but moved it up two weeks. That’s fortunate; his rent will cover the deposit I’ll return to the tenant moving out. And I got an email from a guy interested in that room. Life is good.
