Garage and more stuff dumped out front
Today I spent some time working on the garage in anticipation of getting the garage door installed. I called the company I selected and the estimator had to come back out again. I cannot imagine why he didn't do everything he needed to do to give me a written estimate the first time, but it's not my problem (the delay is my problem though). I was also a bit concerned that they only prepared a written contract at my request. I cannot imagine how you do business without contracts, but again, not my problem.
We are so excited to get a decent door. Right now, it looks like a junkyard - rotted, peeling paint, warped, etc. To get into the garage, you have to grab a key, brace your knee against the door to push it in, unlock the padlock, jiggle the metal parts the padlock is locked to, repeat on the other lock, lift the heavy door by hand (forget it if it rained recently), and then duck under it and prop it with a stick. It's such a pain that I actually accumulate things in the house in a "return to garage pile" so that I don't have to go in to the garage too often. I also keep things in the house that belong in the garage just because it is so hard to get in.
Once again, someone has used our front lawn as a dumping ground. Nice, that's really high class. Since it was originally dumped in front of the apartment building next door, I pushed it back there once it got dark.
