A cure for the banging basket

Do you like a basket on your door?  Do you use one inside or outside?  Do you tire of the basket banging and swinging every time the door opens?  Do you slam your door hard enough to knock that basket off?  Well folks we have a cure for that banging basket.  No more scratches in the paint finish.  No more contents bouncing out.  Whether you hang from an over the door hook or the back of the peep hole, I have the answer for you.  Call to order now.  But wait!  If you call within the next 5 minutes we'll throw in 10 more free.  Just pay a ridiculous handling fee for each one.  Call now!

 

Just kidding.  But I did finally solve that problem.  Very.  Strong.  Magnet.  Yep.  See that rusty square inside?  Since most of the doors today are steel, a strong magnet will secure the basket to the door even with a slam.  I don't know where we found this magnet but it is industrial strength!

Now I can fill it with gourds that won't be rolling on the floor whenever it opens.  If you have wood or fiberglass, I got nothing. 

 

Except for a few orders, all was mailed today.  Advil is wonderful, is it not?  For some reason, I was able to walk on it this morning.  But I did keep off of it for a while, gave me time to think, and I've come to a decision on the siding. 

This type of siding that is on the garage will be painted a muted red.  New garage doors, same paint.  We will replace the windows with aluminum clad double hung in red.  The trim will be replaced as will the doors.  The siding will wait until spring, and be replaced where needed with boards from the side.  Stained the dark gray or maybe a greenish gray. 

 

 

With new painted window trim and corner boards, the contrast to the weathered siding will probably look nice.  Wait.  .....   RED?????

 

Good grief.  Does the anti-inflammatory dull the brain along with the pain?
