Pretty sure it's been 5 years since I've meddled with any door hinge.

it's been less than a year, and to this day that door just ain't right
You're not fooling anybody here, friend.
Like, I am not allowed to or I just physically can't?
what am unhinged proposition
Replace your 'door' hinges with 'cabinet' or 'industrial maritime' hinges and your semantic loophole is set.
Two metric hours or two imperial hours?
Light hours.
In that case I would do it. Heavy hours would be a different story
Pro tip:
If the holes in the door frame are wallowed out, jam some pieces of toothpick in there first, then put the hinge on and screw it in.
Master tip:
Use a rawl plug
Otherwise known as a drywall anchor or wall plug. My parents also call them mollies, but those are different (though also often used for screwing things into drywall).
Yeah, I didn't understand why people were going around talking about toothpicks when there is a thingy specifically made for the job.
To use a toothpick, I would need to go out and buy a pack, while I already have a dozen of them plugs lying around in my house.
In fact I got 2 more pieces, complementary with the a handheld mixer, because it had a wall-mount fitment.
What's the ruling on paying someone to fix a door hinge? Knowing my luck it's when the bathroom and front door comes off.
Smoke a few joints and make a garden bed.
At first, I thought that I actually need to fix any door with hinges for exactly 2 hours and for the challenge would be given a very complicated dozen hinged door and was OK with it, but then, well... I realized that this challenge is impossible.
God no omg
This doesn't need repairing, this is perfect how it is now
Yes, I believe I would do it even if everyone I know must die of natural causes some day...at random!
Do I still get to grease squeaky hinges? If so, maybe a deal.
We are in that age, huh
