August 25th

This afternoon I was at the condo to pickup the two movie posters that I had left in the upstairs closet, and I noticed that the vertical control on the west side of the patio door is no longer operational. I know that when I left the condo, this worked! 

I think (hope!) that it has just come off the track, but it's going to take a visit to Lowes to find out how to get the magnet back in place. Tomorrow I'm tied up with The Book Club and lawn mowing, but later in the week I'll see if one of the clerks at Lowes can show me how to get it back on track. When Anderson Construction installed the door, it was missing a magnet, and when I called Pella Windows windows on Wabash they were absolutely No Help (they were the rudest nitwits I have ever talked to, and I would never buy anything from them). Lowes was aware of the 'missing magnets' because they told me that kids were stealing  them because they were such strong magnets.   

When I visited the condo today I also removed one of the standing lamps from downstairs. It wasn't even plugged in, and I need it back at the house. I'll leave the other standing lamp, but I can't see what one 60 watt bulb can do for 'the look' of that area since you have to turn on the lamp after the overheads are already on. 

Last weekend I took the welcome mat that was on the patio (I liked it), and today I replaced it with one that was in the garage on Westview (It'll do) . 

I have the number  of the Boys Club on the eastside I'm going to see if they want the exercise equipment that's still in the basement. I called last week but didn't get an answer. If they don't take donations, I'll call Goodwill, but if they will take it, I think it must be on the ground floor, and I think I can drag all of it up to the patio, but I think we are a long way from worrying about what is in that basement recess.

But, the patio door is a major selling point, and I want it to work just as well as it did when I left the place.    seeya..kw
