Mom will be so happy

Spent most of the afternoon today putting the shelves back in their rightful places. You wouldn't think it, but it took some time. Mostly because I had to put back up all the brackets that hold them in place and then wrestle each shelf into position. The downside of paint is that everything is just the teensiest bit smaller and since its been so hot, tacky as all get out. But, I got it done with a little help from Matt

Now at least we don't have to put all our stuff on the floor, though we are doing a pretty stellar job collecting tools on the counter.

Matt continued to work on the door, which continued to put of a fight, including one memorable nail that went through the trim and actually into the door. We wanted security, but I think nailed shut is a little too far. He and Mark got it straightened out though and now our door has trim:

 

If you look carefully, you can see all the spackle where the wall literally ripped away when they took off the trim. Live and learn, next time we'll cut the caulk before taking off the trim.

And now, just for my mom, Matt got us some new locks for the windows. Like everything else tonight, we had to redo each piece twice, but now both windows lock and the hardware even matches the doors:
