Opening And Closing

It's been terribly hot in this woodsy cabin.  Now that a few thunderstorms have come and gone, the temperatures are finally dropping some.  I cooked in this house because I couldn't figure out the New England style air conditioning.  It is not whole house or central. It is located in the ceiling. 

For the most part I have just tried to open the sliders.  Just about every slider and window has a problem opening and closing.  The catches don't seem to catch.  The new sliders have plastic connectors.  Ugh.

The other day, I thought I secured a great cabin in Rye.  Then I learned the owner had a fee for just about everything. It wasn't even a nice cabin.  A friend wrote me reminding me as one door closes, another opens.  Very Sound Of Music and I love it!  I thought a bunch about his reminder. 

Then I was reluctant to open too many sliders and windows because the ones I did open do not close well.  A strange metaphor.  A few minutes ago I decided to open a low bedroom window.  It has one of the crank out windows.  Well it barely cranked out.  Every window has crank irritability.  I opened it a tiny amount, letting delightful fresh air in and the arm under it detached.   The message is get the heck out of this cabin.  Now.  Soon. 

I like simple systems.  Central air conditioning if I need it.  Windows that open and close with ease.  A home in good working order.  Soon I will have it.

When one door closes another opens.  The adventure continues.
