Garage
Okay so I got a new doorbell. It was cheap but is functional. It is wireless and everything is battery operated. I got 3 ringers. The whole setup was about $20. Put a ringer at each end of the house and one in the garage so I can hear the doorbell even if the TV is turned up. Or since they are wireless and battery operated can take a ringer outside to the back yard if I am grilling and expecting company. The doorbell chime is different, but hey that's good. Now it doesn't sound like the doorbell is gong off when they have one on TV! It has a bunch of different chimes, but I think most are hokey.

Anyway, the button or transmitter looks like the cheap plastic that it is. I've taken it apart and soldered wires to the switch inside so it will operate from the wires to my existing doorbell button. And have mounted the transmitter and one of the ringers where the old doorbell was.

Am I weird for keeping the old standard button instead of just attaching the newer plastic looking junk by my front door?
