Me vs the Locks Round 2

Locks 1, Me 0.

aaaarrrrgggghhhh.

So I finagle the door into letting me put a vertical mount door knob. Nothing major to report there.

Remember that decorative plate I talked about?

It made the door about 1/4 too thick. The screws can't engage with the door handle on the other side.

*mutters cursewords under breath*

Guess I'll have to put the old knob back on.

Hi there,

My husband and I are in the process of buying a 1937 Spanish style house, and I've been looking for information. I found your blog on the Old House Web. Thanks for including pictures. I'm interested to know what paint colors you are thinking about. Also, our furnace is original too. Any idea if it'll cost a fortune to replace? I like your new windows, too. Only three of ours in the house open. Thanks! Chandra
