aColdddddd Day in Cottage Country

 the old cottage had a partial change of ownership - same mortgage holders < us >

and for peace of mind, the locks needed new keys πŸ”‘


I went as company. Didn't do much but saved the day. "A " < the owner > was using smart lock which allows the owner to use any key and the lock will match tumblers to that key. " A " pulled the key out before the last tumbler clicked. Thus, the combination would be a hybrid of old and new keys." A " just assumed the lock was permanently mis - set.
But I refused to believe that there wasn't a failsafe mode.
There was - silly but available. Put in the new key and jiggle the key until the last tumbler resets itself.
" A " couldn't do it .......... but I got it

Da da! Success. When you're used to screwing up then you know there is always a " re-do " mode

At home, ' dear, a pot light is out in the bathroom '

I look up, E Z 'nuff. Loosen the bulb and.......... it won't clear the edge of the cabinet. Intelligence test ?  I fail. Grabbed a baby mallet and garbabe can - WHAM and poof. Glass flies everywhere but mostly in the garbage can. Screw in the new bulb, job done. When they ask do light bulbs grow into a bigger bulb ? Answer : yes.
