Another weekend bites the dust, which means that I need to update the list of home projects. Saturday Natalie and I painted our bathroom and the room that serves as our office (a.k.a. Whatifsports central). I am very happy to report that both projects were completed and the once hot pink office is now a nice bluish-green.
My toughest home project so far has been changing/installing a door catch/hinge for the screen door on our main door. Our main door has a very useful extra outside door that has a replaceable screen/glass panel so that when the weather is nice (not now), you can prop your main door open and leave the screen door closed to allow air flow while keeping our 3 Musketeers (Emmitt, Stella, and Phoebe). The problem with the door is that when we moved in the door did not catch, thus allowing the pets to simply push it open with their snouts. I have since removed the old catch, moved it on the frame, removed it, lost it, bought a new one, bought spacers, installed all of the above, and failed miserably at getting the door to catch. So, by my count this has been the most tedious home project to date and I see no easy fix besides replacing the latch on the door. I guess you just never know what project is going to stomp you.

Glad to hear that the GM's quarters for dork league are now complete. I hope that you haven't been forced to neglect in any of your teams during the move!
The move coincidentally fell between seasons so all is good. And I think the correct term is League of Dorks, but Natalie will know better.
