Don’t say we never get anything done…

1 Comment

Back in 2008, this happened.

Remember this back in 2008?

Now you might not remember it (so go to the link to refresh your memory), but our solution at the time was to board it up with a bit of plywood.

An unsightly solution to be sure.

It’s not as if we didn’t know the frames were rotten.  In 2005 when we had the house repainted the painters had refused to waste good paint on clearly rotten wood.

We did nothing.

Then the door broke.

We moved our beer fridge to in front of the window for added security, and handy access to beer and wine.  And it was handy.

Over the next two and three quarter years we said to eachother often: “We really must get that door fixed.” and “If we were ever to sell, we’d need to get that door fixed.”

We hardly ever go out the back so we really didn’t notice it too much – except from the other side when getting beer and wine.

This year though it was hot.

Damn hot.

And we spent a lot more time in the pool.

In particular, Groover spent time outside. (a rare event)

One day last week, while swimming, he looked up and noticed that the bit of plyboard that had been nailed in again a few times by now, had come off again.

This time the nails fell out of the rotton wood.

And today the door is in.

Don’t it look pretty?

The new doors from the outside

 Okay the wood has to be sealed somehow.

Suggestions?

Apart from “don’t take another three years to seal the wood!”

I’m thinking a clear varnish myself.

The new doors from the inside.

I can’t believe it took us so long.

They look so good.

They feel so secure.

And so… not-rotten.

Yay Groover!  …and Nick from DoorSTOP.

Only thing is… where are we going to put the beer fridge?

House

Locked out and I had my key!

So I came home after work yesterday and couldn’t open the front door. I could hear the tumblers shift but I could not open the door. I tried over and over. I had a new key so I thought it might have been inexpertly cut… but no. On trying both Hugamuga and Dippity’s keys I was forced to the conclusion that it was the lock itself that wasn’t working.

I went round the back to get in through the back.

Now the back door is rarely opened. And after years of heat and water (neglect) the wood has rotted somewhat.

On top of that as we don’t use this door we tend to use it as a wall and stuff gets piled up against it.

So when I finally got the stiff lock open I found I had to push against some wine boxes, a pair of sandshoes and two packets of heat beads for the barbie.

“Er… Mum… you’ve munted the door…” says Hugamuga as I triumphantly march to the front door and fling it open.

The story of the lock fix

1201 – Hi what seems to be the problem?
1201 to 1205 – Man takes off door handle. Takes out lock. Shakes it a bit. Realigns lock. Screws it back in.
1206 – That’ll be $99 thanks love.

!!!!!!!!

As Dippity says: “Think of it as a repair AND lesson on how to do it next time…”

The door will be a bigger problem. For now, the drinks fridge is keeping us safe.
