The contractor showed up on time yesterday morning to replace the motor on our overhead garage door, fix a little glitch in one of the new roll-down shutters, and to take measurements for a a new set of standard shutters on the garden shed. He spent about three hours working on the new motor. The shutter glitch took a minor adjustment and now it seems to be fixed.
As for the garden shed, we decided that he'd repair the existing door rather than replace it. It looks like new, even though we had it installed in 2003. All it needs is to have the sheared bolts drilled out and new bolts put in. He seemed to think it would be fastoche (easy). Then he'll put in new all-white PVC shutter doors on the window.
His company is called CLP Fermetures. A fermeture is a closure and, as you can imagine, they do gates, shutters, windows, doors, and anything else that closes (and opens!). To date, he's installed eight shutters on our house, one garden gate, and one garage door. He didn't install the garden shed door.
These kinds of improvements are always satisfying. I look forward to seeing the new old garden shed.
ReplyDeleteGlad you have such a handyman! Those old shutters are special, but it will be good to have them replaced.
ReplyDeleteThat all looks great, and what a great thing that he suggested keeping the door, and repairing. Woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteWell done! And thank you for a new-to-me vocabulary word (fastoche). -- Chrissoup
