advance notice

 

Hannah's on Block island is rented as of the end of May. I knew the French doors had to be replaced (yes, after just 15 years), so I ordered them in the fall, knowing it would be months before I could get them. I was so relieved when they came. Pop the old ones out, pop the new ones in. Piece of cake. Waldyn, Ana and Jose's son, who is to do the work, sent me a pic of their arrival. But then he popped the old ones out. 

The big hole is on the interior. Apparantly the French doors upstairs on the balcony leaked so badly that they rotted out the walls. So now this has become a project and a half. Note to self: Seaside houses require a lot more maintenance than other houses. Haven't calculated how that is offset by higher rents!
