Thanks so much for your help dad! I had trouble getting it in but managed to complete the job... so tell mom not to worry you're not going to have to pop round and fix it haha.

I know nothing is ever good enough for your little girl

Nice. That'll last 15 years. Good work.

I had trouble getting it in…

Obligatory, that’s what she said!

That's the part you say in your head, Dad.

Hey, nice work!

That's great! Well done! Knew you could do it :)

You've upgraded your skills now - what's next on the list? :)

Whatever small thing breaks next!

Congratulations 🥰❤️❤️❤️

And now you know how to repair or replace all door handles, if any get loose or if you need to rekey a door!!

I think my favorite part of learning to fix stuff is feeling that much more confident about the world around me, even if it's a small thing like knowing how to install a door handle.

Here's to you bettering yourself. :)

You can move mountains if you do things one step at a time. You can do great, big things!

Absolutely I'm really proud of myself
