Shut the door!

So I have been working on painting the doors in the study and boiling the paint off the hardware. The last door has been giving me some trouble. The door would not shut, so I have been sanding the edges, and it now shuts, but will not secure into place where you have to turn the handle to escape. I finally identified that the cause of the problem was that this metal piece did not line up with the piece on the door that fits into it. You can see the black marks on the door jam where the door has been hitting, and where it should be hitting.

So it would have been nice to have a chisel, but a screw driver and hammer worked just fine to move the metal piece up about a half inch so the door can now shut properly.

I should be done with the doors today and maybe work on the windows tomorrow!
