this morning, my former neighbour and friend came by, removed the front door, and took it to his house where he replaced the bottom board which had rotted…

we had put a sweep on the bottom of the door and rainwater had been going into it which caused the rot…

we stuck a table in the space, put a chair up against it on the inside, and closed the retractable screen while the door was gone…

I sat and read in the living room as it was a bit nerve racking to not have a door, lol…

and, of course, a meter reader came to the door and I had to call through the table for them to go to the back…

when the door returned a few hours later, a new sweep was put on, screwed in, and caulked so it won’t get water in and should last for as long as I do in the house, lol…

what a blessing to have friends and neighbours who can help deal with some of the issues that take place in the house…

big girl pants, blessed, broken, crashing, family, fix, grandson, mess, moments, orchids, photos, plants, shelf, shower caddy, widow

the other day my grandson came to the door and said something had happened to my plants… he heard a crash as he was showering and came out to the shower caddy that we had installed in January laying in pieces on the floor with bits of orchids everywhere…

I was so shocked I didn’t even take a picture of the carnage…

it took a while to pick up the plants, sweep up the broken bits, and dump out the soil…

then, we ignored it for a few days, lol…

when we put it back up, we decided to use strapping and screws…

I still need to replace the one broken pot…

hopefully this time the whole shelf won’t come crashing down, lol…

hot, or not…

last night when I got home I had to add water to the hot tub as the repair person advised they couldn’t test it until it had more water in it…

so there I was at 6:30 pm topping it up… in the dark… at 6:30, sigh…

got hold of them again today and spoke with a different repair person who was able to explain it to me a little more clearly…

apparently the heater needs to be replaced… hopefully they will be here tomorrow…

not a cheap repair but they are confident this will fix the problem…

looking forward to being able to go out without having to wonder whether the temperature will be 103 or ???…
