Wee Baby Stuff

Doorbells. They freak out cats and wake up babies. Whether you wind up with a shivering feline or a wailing wee one (or both), here's a great method of dulling that ding-dong. According to the instructor on Instructables, the procedure is easy enough.

1. First, locate your doorbell.
2. Lift off the cover of the doorbell.
3. Go to your refrigerator and find a couple of magnets of the 'business card' variety that will fit inside the doorbell and it's cover.
4. Next, stick the magnets on the chimes underneath the doorbell's plungers (the things that strike the chimes and make the 'ding-dong' sound).
5. Finally, replace the cover, and you're done. Next time someone pushes your door chime button, your chime inside will go from 'ding-dong' to a 'did-dud' keeping baby from waking and the cat from having a kitty coronary.
