        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

                                    Plans for today: Pick up remote and Compact Flash card reader from Jessops - Check! Install Provia (as opposed to the less subtle White Wedding) custom curve[^] on my D70 - Check! Go and experiment with custom curve vs non-custom curve shots outside - give me a few moments to view CP will ya? :-O Test long exposures with remote - hmmm, that all depends on whether or not this infernal cloud cover will move away and let some moonlight through :sigh: Sorry to hear you're at work - why are people with storm doors calling you? :~

                                        Here's a sample[^] of a storm door. Most I've seen are essentially a screen door (though usually quite a bit stronger) for the house entry that includes clear window panels that can be added in winter for protection and insulation.
