Biggie's new door

[susandennis]

I was on the way out the door to the store when I got an email that my Home Depot purchases had been picked up. I went down to the garage and waited by Christian's parking spot. Finally I figured he'd gone on to do other errands and came back upstairs to find my door!

He apparently stopped in front and dropped it off (which is what I would have done).

Contrary to what Home Depot Mike and the instructions said, it was NOT easy peasy to get the damn grill on. I broke two drill bits and it's still not on correctly. Tape is holding it for now.

And the door is a very tight fit. Two people could maybe have done it OR one person who knew what they were doing. But I failed. Finally I took the header all the way off and got it in that way but it's a very dicey job.

I can get it open and shut if I'm very careful but it needs that top track. I sent a text to that chatty guy who came last time (ceiling fan, kitchen hinges, etc) to see if he would come back. If I don't hear from him by tomorrow, I'll find someone else.

But, for now it's in and it's fortified. That screen grill is on the inside. I think/hope it's pretty Biggie proof. And it doesn't look as bad as I thought it would.



Fortunately, Biggie did not come out to help until I was done. Whew.



It's now nearly noon and I have lost all desire for the groceries I was going to go get. They will be there tomorrow. I think I'm going to clean up and try cookies.
