(See 1 Corinthians 3:10)

Last week we were blessed to have a door latch installed on our door. During the previous five or six years there were only two possible positions the door could be in;

1. It would hang wide open.
2. It could be dead bolted shut.

To solve this, we sought out a skilled carpenter to install a door latch. (spring door catches are still new here in India) It was quite interesting to watch the carpenter working with the door to get it the way he wanted it. He did a great job, and it was noticeably different from the typical Western approach.

For your enjoyment and viewing pleasure, I made a quick video of the process. It's Indian carpentry in action!

Enjoy!
