Update on the Storm Door...

May 20, 2008 22:10

 $154.00 cash.  That is all it cost me after all the coupons and gift cards.

Would have been even nicer if...

I HAD BOUGHT THE RIGHT SIZE DOOR!!!!!!!

You see there were 2 sizes - 32" and 36" doors.

Figuring it was an outside door to the structure it would be 36".

nope.

Ever hear of measure twice cut once...

Maybe, I should just measure it once and not have to cut at all.

So I took apart the flap which wasn't that hard cause it was dangling by a thread.  I then cut off the bad part drilled 4 new holes and remounted it on the door.  Voila.  Temporary fix till I take the door back Thursday night.  With the storm and it being 8:30pm I didn't want to try and race down the street to exchange it for one I couldn't do anything with tonight.  So thursday night, I will take it back and get the new one.  It really shouldn't take me too long to put this one up... Crap.  I can't believe i just said that.

When will I ever learn?
