Callie Is Home; New Garage Doors Are Installed.

What a day!

Callie is back home and has a big grin on her face. Me, too. The x-ray showed less fluid around her heart.

The new garage doors were installed today. Bob the Garage Door Guy has had his own business for 20 years. On the side he does contract work for guys like Mike the General Contractor. And lovely work he does.

As we know, it is not easy adding anything new to the old lady. She is just rather quirky and walls can be wonky. But he persevered. He had to turn one part around in order to have enough clearance for the new 8-foot doors.

He was a tad upset that he was not told that he was installing two openers. So what with the added carpentry (another surprise) and the two openers, he did not finish and was mad that he was disappointing another homeowner whom he had scheduled for the afternoon.

And he had the best mix on his iPod. He was the first tradesman who had Carole King, Alison Krauss, Frank Sinatra, James Taylor, and Johnny Cash.

The new doors are probably close to what was on the garage when it was a carriage house since the original jambs have mortises for the hinges.

We think they look mighty handsome.
