I still think your FiL is an elf, with his tiny feet
Hah! I think this may be true...They both seemed really neat.
I have been to my new house! And made sure the keys work! Though now I'm all "I should get a locksmith and change the locks". Sigh. One more thing to figure out (do I just...look up a locksmith in the phone book? ...phone book!?!? Do they just...bring a new lock?)
I was going to bring over some laundry to do, but then I decided bringing dirty laundry into the house as the first thing I brought was bad juju. So I brought my liquor instead. ;)
spill some wine. Just not on the carpet, right?
Um, yes. On the locksmith. I went with highest google hits for the area, local business. And they rekey the locks, not necessarily replace unless rekeying is impossible. I had 4 doors, took maybe an hour. You want new keys, you don't know who had access to the keys (found out my place was essentially unlocked for most of a year. Neighbors came in to make sure no one was squatting and put out bug and mice traps. Plus keybox code was 000 when the seller did lock it up. Yikes.)
Baptizing the new house with liquor is a great idea! Much better than dirty laundry.
Paging smonster!! Can you, as the Queen of Recycling, give me an idea on recycling an old, old, old piano?
Yeah, it is super easy to get locks rekeyed and it is a security must.
You should give it to me! What kind of piano? Does it still play? If so, someone on freecycle or craigslist will probably happily take it off your hands.
OK, it cost me $230 for 7 locks, so a little over $30/lock. Plus the guy adjusted the sticky door, but that was gratis. And when he found out it was just me, gave me a bunch of security signs to put up because he has a daughter a few years younger than me. But I'm pretty sure I wasn't paying for that;)
