Why is it that the seemingly easiest tasks are the most difficult?
The knob on the door between our garage and home hallway came off in my hand the other day, which made it impossible to open the door.
Not exactly known as a "Handy Andy," I figured: How difficult can this be to replace?
After going to the store and puchasing a new lock set, I found out the answer to that question.
An hour later, I was still fiddling with the bolt, knobs, and striker plate in attempt to get them to work.
The directions -- even with pictures -- were of minimal help. All the directions were printed in English -- and Spanish, and Portugese, and Chinese, and Japanese. I would have appreciated fewer foreign language lessons and more detailed instructions.
Did I solve the problem? Let's just say: At least the door opens and closes.
