Well, as long as everyone is giving advice, can someone explain to me how to cut off the bottoms of bedroom doors? See, I had carpet put in my house, which is great, and I got this extra thick pad under it, which I thought would be super comfy, only it turns out the pad and carpet are so thick none of the doors will open and shut. Although my x wasnt handy with tools at all, and I did most things myself, so off I went and bought me a new "power" tool, a skill saw. I even got the blade with lots of tiny teeth to make a nice smooth edge. I took down the door and put it outside on two horseshoes (which are mine), and proceeded to cut the bottom of the door off. Unfortunately, apparently the doors have staples all along the bottoms of them, sparks went flying everywhere, I tore the blade of the saw completely up, and although I did cut the bottom of the door off, and I hung it back up, I even sanded the bottom of it first so it wouldn't catch on the carpet, but unfortunately, my aim with the darn thing seems to have been a bit off, so if you lean pretty far over the bottom of the door almost appears level. I decided I would just drink until the door looked fine to me, which doesn't really take too many drinks, but now I'm afraid to tackle any of the other doors. Are you supposed to buy a new blade for each door? How do you stay on line? But, on the good side, I didn't cut any fingers off (which is what my dad told me on the phone would probably happen). How are you supposed to do this?

Take the door off, take it to the lumberyard, they slap it on a big table saw and *ZZZZIIIINNNGGGG* the bottom of your door is sawed off all nice and neat.
If you just go to the lumberyard and act helpless, some guy is sure to help you. It helps if you're pretty.
Heck, they did it for ME and I'm not even all that pretty.

Horseshoes, saw horses, whatever! You know what I mean! My neighbor doesn't drink beer. He teaches school, goes to church every second he gets, and keeps his yard immaculate! I think he probably hates me. I haven't mowed the grass all week and its been raining a lot (but THAT I can do just fine!!) and the grass (or should I say weeds) are THRIVING! Flower beds looking good though!
