An interesting thing

 I actually have two brothers and one son in law who could easily install those two storm doors for me and would cost me half as much but the brothers live far away (two of my four brothers are deceased) and my son in law has two children to manage. They would have always been my preferred choice but for the sake of the economy and my lack of desire to try my own skills at installing a door I did use the Home Depot website and hire someone to do the task. He responded the same day as the names were given to me by Home Depot which was certainly great. He was around to measure up the doors for me very quickly which I also appreciated. And I do understand when people are busy; it is summer everyone is getting things done for sure. Not sure when it will be but I never go anywhere particularly so it doesn't really matter; I just wait!

I have a couple more tasks to do. I did ask him about my front porch which is pulling away from the brickwork (stone porch) and I will save any comments on that for personal consumption. Edward hired a company shortly after he retired to do the front porch so one can see how long that porch has stood the test of time and it has been pulling away from the house for a bit. Anyway I did not do a good job of managing the hardening sand and need to use our high pressure hose to clean them off (although the rain is doing not too bad a job!) and will get that done eventually but I need the porch fixed and want to build a new porch at the side entrance which I mentioned as that is one of the items on the list of this company. I also have a fence to extend and revise somewhat and did mention that as well. Yes I could do that but I do not mind hiring someone else to do it. 

The porch having taken apart the intricate patio and redone the bed of it and then reconstructed it I could do as well but will not do that either again but it doesn't actually need to be repaired. The laneway and stonework needs to be upgraded as well. So lots of work, none of it interconnected, to do and I need a handy man type of construction company to do all of these things but they will all need to be fitted into a timetable and could take a while but given the work I need to do on Ed's material I have lots of time to have these companies/this company take their time to get my stuff done. The porch is still useable!

On to Latin; I am enjoying the latin and it does give my eyes a workout every day without straining them particularly.
