I’ve done a lot of googling and watched some YouTube videos, but they all either have 1) visible screws, 2) a hole that you can press a pin or hex key into, or 3) they’re twist-and-pull Kwikset handles. . My handle doesn’t seem to fit into any of these groups, as it has no visible screws, no holes that I can see, and it’s not a Kwikset handle. Some photos are below. In the 3rd photo, I removed a plate, so the screws are missing.

The “inside” handle (top right/bottom picture) will have a small spring loaded button on the handle post (the part you don’t put your hand on when opening/closing). Use an awl or equivalent tool to press the button and remove the … Read the rest

Modernizing Laundry Room Designs

Modernizing Laundry Room Designs – Greetings from midweek! I’ve been away from the blog for a few days, working on a few things behind the scenes. Just this morning, I had a meeting with my contact at the Committee on the Sheltered (COTS), a local nonprofit I work with every year (see all previous space conversions for COTS here ).

I learned that there are two other homes they use as transitional housing that need to be remodeled, and I will be working on them this fall. These houses excite me very much; There are two more kitchens to be renovated and at least two more bathrooms to be renovated. I’ll be sure to document space transformations here on the blog as I always do!
