Finishing touches.

The cement ramp was covered during the rain Friday night and today, Sunday, I uncovered it and all is well. The roll up door needed tweaking on the tracks and I found that the spring cables are not tight enough to hold it in the up position. The inside handle is loose and that also controls the unlock function. The screen on the new window has a tear in it and the builder was supposed to get a new one. They should be here Monday to do the final clean up and fix the problems noted above.
  When they set the forms in place for the ramp they dug some of the turf away and put the clods aside the ramp. I found a place to put them to good use. The trash truck had run over the circle grass a few weeks ago leaving deep ruts and raised sides. I had flattened the raised areas a little and used the clods to fill the ruts. It really needs a roller to  go over the tracks to level the place out.
 Yesterday, Sat., I helped Aaron install two storm doors on the entrances to the house. The doors have a screen that rolls down when the top window is lowered. Plus the lower glass is just a few inches from the bottom of the door letting in maximum light. Anderson 2500 series doors that hinge on either side. They are well engineered and the directions are very good. I needed one hinged on each side and didn't know what to expect but the doors are not hinged at all so you put it where you want it. The door handle and lock has a mortice cut out on both sides and a cover plate for the one you don't use. You drill the handle holes where you want them using the supplied template. After we got the tools we needed installing the first door the second only took 90 minutes. The box says 2 hours so we beat the average.
