Stair Landing Repair

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Neighbors J and D were at my house for the last neighborhood party and noticed one board in the front landing was rotting. Today they came over and replaced it! They arrived with a board, a bag of tools, some power tools, and an extension cord. In jig time they were able to remove the board and replace it without disturbing any of the boards around it.

I told them their teamwork was amazing. I was also impressed at how easily J handled the tools. His comment was, “I learned it all from working with Bob. I never did any construction work before.”

J said they have a similar look at their house. They replaced half a step with treated wood and haven’t painted it. I declared I wouldn’t paint mine, either. This is the latest fashion on our street, and we are leading it proudly. I like seeing mine every time I go on the front porch, because it reminds me that I have the world’s best neighbors.

  5. My neighbors have a tree that dumps tiny leaves and mountains of them this time of year. Then end up all over the inside of our house. With all the rain we the last week or so we couldn’t get them off the sidewalk and porch, but it was sunny today, and my neighbor came over with her blower and cleared everything in about five minutes. That’s a good neighbor too!

  14. You have wonderful neighbors – since Marge passed away, I lack neighbors who are thoughtful and helpful like your neighbors are. I suspect it will always be like that. You are blessed.
