You would be surprised! People screw things up, call in and don't even realize what they have done. An example: Customer: "Yeah, I just finished installing my storm door, but for some goofy reason I have to be on the outside of my house to raise and lower the windows, did I do something wrong, I followed your instructions exactly." Me: "Sir, you installed your door inside out." Customer: "Well, no this is going to leave screw holes on the body of the door if I flip it around, is this covered under the warranty?" Me: "No sir, that would not be covered under the warranty." Customer: "That's just rediculous. Why don't you cover something like this in your installation manual?" Me (phone muted): "Idiot!" Me (phone unmuted): "I am sorry sir." :rolleyes: - Nick Parker

                  Do you give them creative suggestions for installing the doors? I realize that there are so few ways to screw up a storm door installation that your range is limited, but it could be a good exercise for your creativity. I'll be sorted through piles of 'stuff' trying to locate everything I need to rebuild this server; if I find it all I'll be doing the deed today or tonight. Farewell, cruel world... Tomorrow I'll be starting my new job - selling motorcycle parts part time for an exceedingly low wage. It's a start, and the only nibble I've had in two years.:sigh: Will Build Nuclear Missile For Food - No Target Too Small

                        Yeah, I know. After 7 years working in a hardware store, I know all about it. I well remember the joys of spending half an hour explaining to a DIYer how to do a wiring project, only to have him ask on the way out (holding a SPST switch in his hand) , "Remind me - which terminal on this does the white wire go to?" Not to mention the one who screamed at one of my people and called him stupid because he didn't have a dimmer switch for a two speed ac fan motor. Or the irate customer who couldn't find anyone who knew what a Jew nail is (corrugated fastener) - all of our help were youngsters, born after the birth of Political Correctness. Sheesh...

                                    My big plans for the weekend were going out to one of these 'public houses' that people keep mentioning, but crawling into bed at 5pm today for a nap has probably put a finish to that. The good bit is after a bad back for two years today I put AC/CDs "If you want blood you've got it" on at full blast and bounced around the house for an hour earlier on, hence the nap :d Who needs a gym ? :-D Elaine (very, very tired fluffy tigress) PS I live in a detached bungalow so no problems as long as I don't start a landslide :laugh: The tigress is here :-D
