As there other things in life Hobby, I picked up a used door to replace the rotted out one in the 2nd shed, and to widen the entrance. It turned out to be a high quality back door, double glaazed, the works, for a tenner. It barely fit in the back of my, admittedly, small car, but I got it done.

It fits....sort of. |
So in the early morning with a nice bit of sunshine, I set the door againt the house, removed the old one, the bottom part falling apart in my hands. I then started to remove the wood pannels from the side of the shed and was almost then when out of the blue a massive gust of wind scared the shit out of me....and blew over the new door.

Bloody thing barely missed me. Fortunately, the previous owner had put plastic sheet over the glass so it did not spray glass all over me. Which I then did myself by using a crowbar to smash almost all of the glass out (gloves and eyeprotection were used). I could not use the door anway as it had fallen hinges down first and 2 of them had broken free from the door, splitting the door as well. Covered all the sides with scrap cardboard box and set aside. Old door as well.

Almost done with cleanup. So. Much. Glass. |
So finally sat down, had dinner, put on the tv and then I heard a metallic sound by my right ear. The right leg from my glasses just fell from my head, and the rest just flopped to the side. The internal screw had just snapped for no apparent reason? Most of it is lodged in tight and I can't get it out. I "fixed" it with ducttape, of course.

On the bright side, I already booked an appointment next friday for more tests and a new pair, well 2 pairs, of glasses.
Anyway, let's pretend this weekend never happend, ok?
Tough week for you, indeed.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI've had worse. I should be due for a good one though, statistically speaking! But knowing my luck....
VerwijderenThis was not a good Saturday for you. I hope the rest of the weekend is better.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenTwas a lazy Sunday with lots of laundry and pizza at the end. I've had worse.
VerwijderenHappy to ignore a weekend like that! Sounds terrible, good luck with the new door!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBest Iain
Thx Iain, but I'll need to find one first. Atm looking at the shed and half open as it is, it always looked like a closed off covered section anyway. It's a bit of a shit shed tbh.
VerwijderenOh dear, it does sound like a weekend to forget!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhat weekend? 😁
