A beautiful sunny Sunday in the Sunset. Spent the day taking care of a project that's been on my mind for weeks, namely, fixing Alice's back door. She has an old mortise lock that doesn't work. After at least an hour or two of removing paint and screws (the door knob screw being particularly stubborn). Finally, I got that door knob screw to turn. After that, taking out the lock box from the door was a breeze.
Turns out, there's a coil spring that's broken and rusted out. Hopefully, I'll be able to go to Ace tomorrow to get a replacement part. This old lock is a # 10 mortise lock. Maybe we can find a skeleton key to get the back door to work.
Yummy dumplings for dinner, then a little bridge in the evening with Alice.
