Fathers Day with Evie, Repair Screen Door, and Kitty Love
Saturday Amber hosted dinner
at her house for the family,
for Fathers Day.
Caleb and his family could
not come because he had
been out cutting tabbcco and
was not feeling well.
Will and two of his boys were
there, and Brayden was there with
Evie and Hannah.
Evie was full of herself.
We had homemade BBQ, potato salad and
baked beans. I made a Boston Cream Pie
Cake. Sorry, forgot to take a pic.
Afterwards, Trivial Pursuit came out.
Things are just not made as well
as they used to be and after the
snows over the winter, I started
having issues with my screen door.
As you opened, it would drag, pulling
on the frame and causing
the rubber piece
that holds the screen in to pop
out. I have been
saying I would get to it
and finally did
on Friday. I took a
good look at it
and realized that where
it was glued
together was coming apart.
I tried pushing
it back together but that was
not working,
I needed something more
permanent, something
that would keep that area
together. So I
picked up some corner
brackets to pull and
hold it together.
I wanted black but all I could find
in the stores was silver and I had
to get that, but I spray painted it black,
giving it a better look than the silver
would.
There were eight corners that needed
a bracket, I applied one to each corner.
It is holding great!
I love the sound of the wooden
screen slamming and now it
slams without dragging.
Once the brackets
were put in place,
I took the tool for
for replacing the rubber
strip that holds the screen
in place and fixed that,
insuring that the cats
stay in. Up till fixing
that, I had a box in front of
the door
to prevent the girls
from breaking out.
Lily is the one
I worry about, but this
one would not
go far at all, she
has never tried to
escape.
She loves her mom
time!
Have a great day,
Pam
