There’s been a lot of activity on Endless Ocean Way this week. The new storm door is installed. The contractor did a great job, but I’m pretty sure they lost money on the deal. When they measured for the door size, they decided a 36″ door would work fine. Actually, the trim on our house was a little smaller than they thought. The installer had to saw 1/4″ off the trim for the entire height of the door. It took two men 4 1/2 hours to do what is normally a 2 hour job. The end result is wonderful. We really like the new door.

Speaking of doors, the condo association finally decided to order the new sliding doors to go out to our decks. We had 3 days to get our order in. That wasn’t much of a problem for us.

We had a plumber replace our old sump pump. In the process, he broke the backup pump. We use a water-powered backup pump. Very reliable. Needs no electricity. Has one moving part (the on/off float/valve). The plumbing company said they don’t install water powered backup pumps. What? A plumber won’t work on a water powered pump? We got another plumber in to install a new backup pump. There’s a switch that sends a message to my phone when the backup pump kicks on. It doesn’t send the message. Hopefully I’ll get everything working before something else breaks.

Danita is a genius at finding Zoom presentations. Of course we’re still taking our Fitzgerald/Hemingway class. We’re also watching a several-week series about music in Maryland. Danita is watching a series about tools for care givers. We have seen several presentations about various interesting topics, and we have 4 more coming up this week.

Our community decided to keep the pool open another week, so Danita will be able to use the pool next week.

That’s the news for this week. I hope this finds everybody doing well.
