Back in April, I mentioned that I was planning on getting a sliding glass door to replace my fake French doors that leads to my back deck. Not only did I not like the doors, they were not put in very well and there was mold starting to form in my crawl space from the door leaking down. So one way or the other, the door needed to be replaced.
In May, I did some research and got some quotes and finally ordered one in June. They said that it would be 6-8 weeks for the door to come in and then installation would be set up. Well 8 weeks had passed and I had not heard from the company. I called them and they said that because I ordered the doors with screens inside the glass, it usually took 2-4 weeks later.
In September they finally called and said that my door was in and scheduled an appointment to install the door 3 weeks later. I was so excited to see the door. The weather was turning perfect to be able to open up the door and my windows and feel the wonderful fall weather through the house. They came and started to get ready and about 20 minutes later they had told me that they were done. Huh? Well apparently the door was ordered a half an inch too small. At least they measured before took my old door out and I had a huge hole in my house.
On Monday they finally came to install the right size door. They were also able to fix the mold that had started in my crawl space and fix it so water would not leak down there. I'm sad that I won't be able to take advantage of the screen door for another few months, but it's in!
They do need to come back and fix the screen inside the door that does not sit right. But they work and I'm happy to have them. I will need to paint the new molding that they put in, but that will have to wait till I know they are done with everything and I actually have some time to do something besides work and sleep.
A couple weeks ago was Hanukkah, so if you celebrate, I hope you had a good one. Next week is Christmas, and if you celebrate, I hope you have a merry one.
