I decided to tackle the storm door. I've been irritated at H about not replacing it. no, I didn't ask him to, so I have no reason to be irritated with him, really. I mean, why expect him to do jack around here, right? why expect him to notice the screen is still in instead of the storm, and its november and freezing.
anyway, I first thought I'd see if I could get the screen part out, figuring if I at least did that, even if I couldn't get the glass in, he'd either notice tomorrow and be a gentleman and ask me if I wanted help with it, or else I would have my friend or her h help me with it. either way, it needs to be done. so yeah, passive aggressive, but with a backup plan. lol.
the screen was really easy to take off. its not a bunch of bolts like our last house's was, it was held in by some springs that once you hit the tabs, it realeased really easily. I took that downstairs and grabbed the glass and voila, I did it! took me a minute, it was heavy and I was worried it wasn't quite popped in, but I did it, all by myself.
I am woman, hear me roar.
next up, tackling the shed roof. anyone have any favorite do-it-yourself websites? I've talked to the guys at home depot, but it was all gibberish. I just need to fix the crest, or whatever you call it...the peak part. it blew off in a wind storm at the beginning of summer. time to stop thinking h will ever get around to fixing it, I need to figure it out myself.
anyone? anyone?
