Last night I came home and the back screen door was wide open. As we walked towards it a very scary, furry monster of unknown type greeted us and sent us screaming like little girls for the car, I tried the front door but the inside door, which has had a broken knob since I moved in, finally broke all the way off. Scared of all our screaming, the animal ran into the cellar so I trapped it in. The whole situation would have never happened if the back screen door wasn't broke. My father-in-law has replaced the spring once but the kids broke it again within a day. So I am going to have to come up with a new solution. Luckily this morning we found out the the ferocious beast was only a big fluffy cat, but I am still left with two doors to fix.
The next maintenance emergency is that my house phone is not working. For some reason I have not had power in my cellar since my dryer was installed and unfortunately the cable/phone modem is plugged in down there. I know that this has been a problem for a while but I have been hoping that it would spontaneously repair itself. ( I do that for most my maintenance/repair problems) Then this weekend I jumped into a pool with my cell phone and killed it. Without the money to get a new cell, I have no choice but to figure out the power problem so I can at least have a house phone.
My grandfather was the king of maintenance he would have never let these problems go on so long. I guess I need to remember to think WWPD (What would Pepere' do?) next time I see a maintenance problem and look the other way.
While I am doing all these other dreadful maintenance tasks I might as well do the worst one of them all and clean out the gutters.....For you Pepere' :')
