  1. Went the easy route using 3” wood screws. Ended up doing both locks. Replacing the jamb is a task I’m not excited about tackling and the front door isn’t the major weakness for the property, that’s prob be the ancient sliding glass door around back. For the sake of posterity, this is another route that was presented to me. But these are for jambs that have no shit been kicked in and are still in pieces. Thanks for the input yall @mr.yuck @One Man Banned @SMdoubleXL @Ko SprueOne

  5. @KILZ FILLZGo with the larger striker plate. Your idea using epoxy putty to repair the damaged screw thread purchase surfaces is also valid. I recently did a similar repair of a door jamb. I used plumbers epoxy putty stuffed into the damaged area. While the epoxy was curing, I placed the striker into position after it was wrapped in plastic wrap (Saran Wrap). This will not stick to the epoxy *. The screws were dipped into liquid soap then screwed into the door jamb , through the still curing epoxy. This allows the screws to be removed and replaced later if needed. The soaped threads act like a tap to create a thread through the epoxy. If you use the larger striker plate then this method should be used around the holes nearest the bolt hole because that area looks damaged. Side note: We've replaced the entire door jamb with 1/4" steel L-beam stock for an entry door for better security. * I've used this method for shoring up a set of replacement plastic rifle grips for a friend. No more rattle.

  6. Funny, this is the very next home improvement project for us because the previous owner installed it upside-down as well. The door slides outside. That through hole bolt is actually very secure. Yes, if they just break the glass then they can just walk in. True, but that would make noise and is work on the intruder's behalf. My Dad told me to always be more difficult than your next door neighbor. True sht right there. They see sht in the way at your pad, they go next door instead. See picture attachment. This is installed at the top.

  12. May not be hipster enough for the youngins today, but there is nothing wrong with an Estwing hatchet. One of those Japanese folding saws can be pretty handy also, of you do not already know from your horticulture work, you should learn. High end.

  13. I was gonna say to at least start with hella long screws. but something to secure them into as theses smart boys have indicated. That’s all I got haha but for real. Living solo for a long time -I’ve always replaced the deadbolt screws, in any living situation, to long ones. carry on gentlemen. I’m glad it’s moving forward @mr.yuck

  14. My thought is an exterior door into your home "should" IMO be as strong and secure as possible, and that means buckling down and replacing the door jamb. A deadbolt is a security measure and you want it secure in something with structural integrity, not splintered wood. If you're determined not to replace the jamb I'd pick that extended length latch strike, but I'd still use something to fill some of the space behind it.

  15. Thanks for the perfume, @mr.yuck. If you like Gaultier2, then you'd most definitely like MFK Grand Soir as that's what it immediately reminded me of. I'm going to get me a decant of it again sometime. Gucci Oud is good, but has commercial notes to it, per my gf. Will try Prada tomorrow.

  16. The stick in the track method is actually easily defeated. I'm wondering if I should reveal this in an open public thread. However we use this on three windows in the house because the cat still has not figured it out. If we leave the house tho, the windows get closed and locked.

  18. @KILZ FILLZ The best cure for that slider is to cut down a section of wood closet rod to length and throw it down in the door track to block it from being able to slide. I was also looking at "These things right here" as an option for kick proofing a house.

  19. Guy, don’t listen to fools like @where just do your thing. He’s harmlessly ball busting. Just like everyone else on the internet. Welcome to the forum while not lurking anymore. We need more of y’all. Some folks made still weird about talking numbers or credit scores and shit like that. Don’t trip. It’s cool you dug into the threads and came out with results. Take a look around mane.

  25. @mortonwell put We have done our basic photo/canvas type deals as gifts regarding our connection. And we love to smoke so a rig is probably an obvious gift But your train of thought triggered this. say every time we go camping he talks of wanting a good axe/hatchet or whatever type of tool. So I’d openly take leads on one if one if you guys have a favorite. I’ll start there

  26. Yeah my bad... I'm only a few days into crypto but invested £1000 last week after reading this thread and the one in Jekyll Island. Split across BTC, ETH and XRP. I suppose my question is why would you leave your currency sitting in a wallet when you could loan it and receive interest (and withdraw at anytime)?

  29. I agree with all the way on the D&G. That was the impression I get with a lot of commercial generic scents without smelling them. Not trying to sound like a snob. Besides, the only commercial generic cologne that is the best would be aqua di gio IMO. Again, you're exact on the Italian leather. It's tough to figure out but very inviting.

  37. Didn’t even get a bite today. Which is unfortunate bc I just got a new steelhead recipe I wanted to try out. Always nice being in the water tho. This buck and I had a stare down for awhile. Dude blocked my path back, and wouldn’t back down. Eventually he got bored and kept walking.
