Well...it's snowing like hell, and my bald tires are gonna try to make it into town for a Drs appt. I love the excesses of weather...but I'm ready for spring, I want myView attachment 354564 animals outside...View attachment 354565
Books, the keys to the world! Thank you Lyn, for valuing your books. When the big Sunspot hits or bad guy does his thing and ALL of the digital data is lost, we will still have books! I wish I had the space for a library b/c everyone is giving away books. I even got an original Voyage of the Kite- The Peary expedition...signed by the man himself, though he wasn't the author. Very cool!
On another note, Jeff's an idiot....yeah, a continuing saga....here's the latest one. I bought this home in '06. It has 4 interior to exterior glass sliding doors, all but 1 are Anderson 400's, a decent door and I've had no issues with any of them....but my one off brand door in my room going to my deck will give you 18" biceps....I've greased the wheels and rail with a little but not much effect. Remember guys, I'm a plumber and I suck at all thing wood-related(got to know your weaknesses) so the door is getting so sticky that watching Kerry attempt to close it while standing on a floating wool rug on a hardwood floor was entertaining....so much so that I sat back and watched....but I didn't laugh till she "beat it" cause I'm cool like that.
Anyway....I go to regrease it and look what I found... 2 little caps, each approx 8" from either end. Do you know what's under those caps? WHEEL ADJUSTERS!
Oh God! How many years I've wrestled with that door? 16-17 yrs? LOL I feel a little humbled....ok, more than a little.
Now...it glides with 1 finger but Kerry will launch it off the tracks if I don't warn her ahead of time, she'll "hoss" it!

Aaagh, yes, the wheel adjustors that one only discovers when you are on your hands n knees & scratching your head with the issue. Good job on fixing it. Yes, you better put a warning up!
