Ding Dong!

billroperThe new chime came today. Happily, it is just about the same size as the old chime and *barely* fits in the space the old chime was in. (This wouldn't be so much of a problem, but the chime for the alarm system was installed just above the old chime.) It took maybe 15 minutes to get it wired up. When Julie threw the breaker in the basement to restore power, I went to the doorbell, pressed the button, and got a very enthusiastic "Ding Dong!" from the new chime.
I may yet decide to replace the doorbell, but I think I have had enough projects for the week. :)
In other news, I bought K a monitor with a stand that will clamp onto the edge of her desk in the dorm. That is, *if* her desk *has* an edge in the dorm. But if not, it looks like there are slats on the bedframe that it can be clamped onto, so it should be possible to make it work.
Now, I just need to get her a laptop...
