Our Doorbell Works!

One of the joys of living in a 120 year old house is that you always find something new that can be improved.... Our doorbell buzzer is in the basement. I work upstairs, on the second floor in the office. I've missed so many deliveries, and even visitors because I didn't hear them ring the doorbell! Luckily, my brilliant Mom told me about "wireless doorbells".

Dick and I went to Home Depot last week and found the perfect solution! It's called a "wireless chime extender" that works with your existing doorbell. We installed a little box next to the existing buzzer in the basement, then plugged the a door chime box in an outlet in the office. Now, when the doorbell is rung, the box in the basement "hears" the first buzzer, which wirelessly triggers the door chime upstairs in the office to ring!

UPS just delivered a package, and I'm happy to say that our new system is working! I was up in the office, and only heard the new chime up here. Yay!
