the "What are you doing NOW" thread (part deux)

Figured I would replace all the door hinges in the hallway since they have 50 years of paint on them. Bought 12 hinges yesterday. NG ? they don’t separate like the old ones with the long pin. And they are also not as strong. So now I’m removing the paint and using the original hinges. Feels kinda cool to keep the original doors ( solid wood) and the hinges.?

It's nice to keep the old stuff. Our last house was built in 1939 & every interior door had solid glass door knobs. I had every intention of replacing them with Home depot stuff & taking the glass ones with us, never got around to it. That was 21years ago, & I still think about it & regret leaving them. We were in that house from 1970 till 1999

my front door is from an 1890's British Victorian home - has stained glass, the original mail drop slot & peephole - Brit brought is over - I refinished - had to strip off 100 + years worth of paint

There's not a single nail of screw holding it together - all mortice & tenon

trying to figure out where I left my cell phone - had it with me when I went to Norfolk yesterday - that's the last time I saw it - thought it might have left it in the truck - no luck - just noticed it was missing like 3 minutes ago

I have mine Bluetoothed to my cars, I notice pretty quickly if the phone didn't connect so the search begins.
