So, the last weekend was a weekend of woes. In addition to the plumbing problems, I had garage door problems. When I returned home from the laundromat, the garage door would not open. Oh, no.
The worst part of that was that I did not have my purse, and I did not have a set of door keys with me. I called a couple of people: my cat sitter, and a friend who has a set of keys for my house. My friend was not home, and the cat sitter called back after a while, and came over to let me in the house. I have two sets of house keys, so I took one set with me when I went somewhere, and will continue to do so.
I had actually thought about that the previous week, when bad weather was moving in, and I realized that if there was a power outage, I would not be able to get in. But, I did nothing about it. Bad on me.
On December 20, 2016, I left work for the afternoon, waiting for the plumber and the garage door repairman. Well, the garage door repairman from Classic Doors http://www.garagedoorslubbock.com/ came late in the afternoon. I had told them I had a Genie garage door opener, but when he arrived, he did not have a working part for the garage door opener. He asked me when I would be home on Wednesday. I told him it would be late, I had taken off work today to get this fixed, and I was not going to do that a second day. He showed me he could open the door, with some effort, although I could not. He said to lock the house Wednesday, and leave the door so he could get in and fix it on Wednesday.
After he left, I wedged a log in the door track so it would be harder to open. A while later, the repairman from Classic Doors called me and said he arranged to get a part and could come back and fix the door. He did. That was very nice. I am thankful to have a working garage door.
Classic Doors gets an Aplus in my book!
