It wasn't even his issue, the reason why he was there. He was busy photographing the siding damage Adam left behind. We got to talking during the form filling out bits and the measuring bits. The front door came up as a topic. Even after assuring him that this was nothing to do with my insurance company, a whole different issue and responsible party, he offered to look at it.
He pointed to one piece of wood in a corner. That indeed was where the door gapped the most. We discussed where a judicious whack or two from a hammer might fix the whole thing, and we'd have a usable front door again. Figuring it was worth the risk of making it worse, I located a hammer.
Whack! Whack!
The door now closes beautifully, easily.

Oh my gosh. Looked you up from 27 years ago. I always loved your outlook on life and how you handle every day events with your wit! Love you old friend Sue from RR days. I used to live in Lino Lakes.

(Wince - I know I'm very prolific - some would say verbose....) I don't Facebook, so trying to figure out how we can catch up without giving the world TMI. Suggestions? Or watch this space for ideas if I get OK from somebody to refer you to their FB site to get contact info through if you like. Either way, great to hear from you, hope life is good.
I remember digging up the clay soil from your yard for my garden. You where putting in a pond and we took the dirt home.Then the basement had your fish tanks lined up! suegarrigusjones@gmail.com.
