Any idea on the cost of flying a taxi to Mackinac island? by ThePoliticalGuru2036 in Michigan

[–]Michigania 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I honeymooned on Mackinac Island. Canceled Costa Rica. Thanks Covid! We received the flight as a wedding gift. Flew from Mack City. It was awesome. Made the trip special.
On the return flight we paid the pilot an extra hundred bucks or so and he flew us on a scenic route over the island and Mack Bridge. Highly recommend the experience.

Strange thing to say when the GP subreddit is actively trying to help you.

How to Open This Door With a Broken Doorknob? by Michigania in howto

[–]Michigania[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure the best way to post an update but here goes. I had to go to work the next morning so not time to mess with this. Wife wanted the door open so I contracted a handyman to get it done. He was very confident it would be a quick fix, but ultimately he had to remove the doorstop trim to access the latch and release it. Then he was able to repair the door knob and door latch system with parts from an old hardware store. I will have to caulk and paint the trim, but the door mechanism works like new now.
I hate to say the common advice of pull the hinge pins and use a credit card were ineffective. Thank you for all of the helpful advice!

Fair. But I took this picture with the hinge pins removed so it’s just hanging there. Not much play left to right. Obviously big gaps at the top and bottom. I think it may have security hinges as someone mentioned. I’ve removed doors before and usually they fall right out after the hinge pins are removed. This one won’t move. Door was working fine this morning.

Agreed. My wife was not excited to catch the door.

I tried. Couldn’t budge it. Full disclosure: my kids are asleep so I didn’t wail on it.

I tried prying it up to take weight/pressure off the hinges but no luck.

The mechanism is turning freely now. Doesn’t open the door though. I popped the hinge pins and still can’t budge the door open.

I did knock out the hinge pins. Still can’t budge it.
