House project #1: Disappearing doorknob

So we have a variety of house projects that need to be done. Some we will be doing ourselves (or at least we think we will be...) and others hiring experts will be the way to go. Some projects are major involving city permits and potentially weeks of work and others will be managed in just a few hours (granted for people who know what they are doing it would probably only take a few minutes...).
So without further ado...House project #1 was completed last Tues!

For some reason the doorknob on the second bedroom was replaced with a very unattractive brass knob.
I'd found the original knob that matched all of the other doorknobs in the house in the garage. After making sure that the original knob actually worked and there wasn't some mechanical reason it had been removed, I set about replacing it. After two hours, borrowing the plumber's screwdriver, frantically searching for the proper screws and accidentally covering myself in graphite I successfully replaced my first doorknob!
Ah the gloriousness of homeownership!
