So, Kimberly and I made the decision this past weekend that we wanted to change all the locks on our new house, just because it seems like the thing to do after buying a new house. So we bought three doorknob/deadbolt sets that Kwickset numbered the same (meaning that we can use the same key with all of them), and Saturday night I swapped in the new doorknobs and deadbolts in the back door and the door to the garage.
However. We are not so sure what we want to do with the front door. We have the boring doorknob that we've already bought, but Kim and I are considering returning it to Lowe's and instead installing something vaguely more exciting. O'er here are the seven handlesets that Kwikset makes (Sonoma is listed twice on the page for some reason), and here is the breakdown:
Arlington and Chelsea: About $75 more than boring doorknob.
Sheridan: Too ugly to consider.
Gibson: About $90 more than boring doorknob.
Sonoma: About $55 more than boring doorknob.
Dakota: About $50 more than boring doorknob.
Farmington: Not made in polished brass, which is the only finish we're seriously considering.
You have through the end of today to make your opinion known. Kim and I will abide by the majority's vote unless we don't.
Next up: What color shall we paint the family room?
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
