Can we fix it?!
More or less, looks like.
We now have two almost fully functional storm doors, front and back, as well as new verification of the fact that the man who built our house was, shall we say, not as dedicated to perfection of detail work as he could have possibly been. I mean, why are NEITHER of the doors QUITE a standard size? Is that normal for door construction and I'm just ignorant of professional door manufacture details?
Whatever. The back door now only needs a little extra molding added to the sill, some caulking near the top, a dab of paint to the frame and the little closer thingie added, and it will be perfect. The front door needs a piece of wood so that there isn't a half-inch gap between the door edge and the frame. Once I put that in, I can put in the side metal frame piece and the handle and stuff, and THAT one will be perfect as well!
I feel pretty good about getting it done, except for being sort of tired. And my knees are a little unhappy about all the ladder climbing. BUT I think this will help quite a lot with the unauthorized fly access, and also with keeping out icy cold winds in the winter. So my knees can just get over themselves!
In other news of minor annoyances, Mike's ringworm is almost cleared up, but Climber has it now. So off to the vet again tomorrow for more goo.
