A small "project" for The Horse!

My front door was getting harder and harder to open and close. I figured that the wood had expanded, due to the ran and humidity, and didn't think much of it.
But when the problem remained after the rains had gone, I took a closer look. It turns out that the screws in the hinges had worked loose.
A project! I was worried that the screws might be stripped, but they were not. I was able to tighten all 12 (three hinges) in about three minutes.
Now the door opens and shuts with out any protest, and there's even more clearance over the throw rug I have just inside the door.
Any mini-projects at your house this weekend?
