Ok, enough busting other's chops for today, a new gear grinder.

It grinds my gears every time I get a new "surprise" by discovering the previous owners/tenants of my condo lazily white washed cheap paint over something, ensuring that the unit looked good in the listing/walk through, but creating an on going list of headaches down the road.

Today's surprise, the 70's accordion closet doors that never quite closed properly. They've got a magnet & metal plate on either side that's suppose to keep them shut, but they've never really worked in the time we've been here.



So today I got tired for looking at a door taking up space while serving no purpose, so I unscrewed the thing, wrestled it to the ground only to discover that it is in fact not a crappy white door, but a brown door, with a crappy coating of white paint over it, which I can only assume contracted just enough to ensure the door never works properly again.
