The Agony of Defeat

Healthshots

We had carefully scheduled for the garage door technician to come between 12:00 and 2:00 today to install the door seal we couldn’t install ourselves.

JUST as we were getting ready to leave for Lunch Bunch, the tech called, saying he was on his way. My husband said he would stay home to meet him.

When I got home after Lunch Bunch and errands, there was no seal on the garage door. My husband said the tech was unable to install it but said he could order one for us. It would be $354 plus labor plus tax. My husband said, “No,” and paid him the $50 for the service call.

I have now written an email to the online store from which we got the door seal, asking if we can return it.

So we’re wincing a bit from

  1. the fact we bought the wrong seal from Yeagers and had to return it,
  2. couldn’t install the seal we ordered on the net,
  3. may be out the $75 we paid for the Internet seal,
  4. paid $50 for a service call that had no results
  5. and have decided that we will try to ignore the fact we have no seal on our garage door.

Definitely a case of one hesitant, but well -meaning step forward and SEVERAL irritating steps back.
