Did you ever find someone creepy and. . . unwholesome for no reason and then you think that maybe it's just you because very few people seem to think so and then you find out that everybody seems to think so, only they have more tact than you do and don't have any problems acting as if they like someone they loathe?

There is a boss who I've mentioned rubs me the wrong way. I find him creepy and a bit. . . unwholesome. At first I thought it was his litte, tiny, T-Rex arms. But surely I'm not so shallow that something physical and not in control of the person could make me shudder when he spoke to me. Then it became waaaay obvious he's a titty-starer. Not my titties as they are matronly in appearance. Nope, my daughter mentioned it (her titties being young and perky). Tweedle Dee then complained to the floor about it ("That's your fault for having such a nice rack," I told her). But then I watched him in action and it is beyond rude how he looks Tweedle in the nipples when he talks to her. Good thing mine are matronly because we certainly would have had words if he stared at me like that.

Then AnimaLover called him Porn Wanker on FB. Because she went into his office and caught him looking at porn with his hands under the table not within sight. I wondered how he'd reach with his tiny little T-Rex arms.

After that I found out that my guymates call him Number 2 because he thinks he's second in command but he's really nothing but a little shit. Their words, not mine. He lies, you see. He does things that he was told (by a lowly adjuster who has only worked for this company for 12 years, unlike new boss who has been here just about a year now) would not work and cause problems. Then lies and says he was never told by anyone the consequences of his on-the-face-of-it stupid actions. He also lies and says he's done things other people have done. To take credit.

He asks rhetorical questions and demands answers. "What's shakin'?" better get a whole sentence of an answer or he'll continue to ask it until he gets one. His bestest employee, who likes to go into his office for half an hour at a time to chat, is The Cancer. YCC once said that they should just close the door and fuck.


But it's his creepy vibe that gets me. Why can't I be like other people and pretend to like him?

And he is cursing the whole way. He had to remove the whole front of the house by the door, from the porch floor up to the porch roof. Those things that I thought were blocks of wood painted white was, in fact, drywall. Not weatherized type drywall. Justin says it was rotten and moldy all the way through.

Also, according to Justin, door guy is cursing every do-it-yourselfer who ever did it himself. The previous owner apparently bought a door he liked and then did whatever weirdness he could think of to make the door fit. Probably why we had to lift the door by the knob to open and close it.

Lets start with the most contrasting pics--


New screen door handle:







Old screen door handle:





( New door/Old door outside. )


It's not very clear in the old door picture from the inside but if you look closely you'll see the very tight fit across the top and the sunlight leeching in at the bottom. This is because the old door was slanted and not properly seated in it's frame.

What I thought were solid pieces of wood framing the inside turned out to be wooden slats that touched the door and dry wall slats nailed to that painted to look a like wood.

The old sill rotting away and my brand new shiny sill.

The new screen door also comes with a screen to replace the glass. Plus, I got a new house icon. Wheeee!
