Pete and Kelli’s social distance day 52
8th May 2020
Kelli was eagerly awaiting the delivery from Imperfect Foods, and things were running late.
She normally gets tracking information mid-week as our expected day was Thursday.
We kept looking for the FedEx truck to reverse up the driveway, but it wasn’t happening.
Therefore breakfast was just cereal, this morning.
The one positive message was her box of JustEgg was in, and ready for collection. Because the product is so good and so difficult to find, she had decided to buy in bulk.
She was so happy, it made up a little of the disappointment of our other non delivery.
My main job of the day was fitting the screen door.
I made the necessary adjustments to the height and width so that it fitted into the frame.
The hinges were spring loaded types that ensured the door was always closed, no excuse for me to leave it open.
Every went well except the quality of the door. The corner joints were not strong enough to ensure squareness when it was hung. Someone must have known that the design would not work.
I bet the company that made the bloody thing must have the name One Hung Lu, he certainly would, if I got hold of him.
To overcome the problem I would need a some steel corner brackets, so as we had to go out to collect a dresser from Hudsonville I could get some whilst we were out.
This did the trick, now there is a fully functioning screen door that I keep forgetting is there. The hinge spring strength is like trying to set a mouse trap. When it closes there is a loud “Snap!” That I’m sure will get on my nerves, so I will have to wedge it open.
Another Lifetime to go
