Replacement Windows And Los Angeles
Now there was really something fishy that went on in the retirement home last week. All the cracks on the ceiling were still there, which only meant that nothing was fishy about the ceiling – it’s just old, like me.
But I heard it everyday last week, the “bang, bang” sound. I couldn’t really guess what was making the sound, so I got out of my room (my first time in two weeks). I was ready to strike someone with my cane.
It took a few more steps towards the lobby before I could make out what the noise was all about.
There was Maggie in her catatonic state again. And then there was Mickey playing chess with his cat. And there were two young men in blue overalls hammering on the window frames by the couch, trying to fit the vinyl window frames.
Now this looked awfully familiar to me… I was 15 at that time… A man in blue overalls was hammering at our window from the outside. I got out of the house and tried to talk to the guy.
“Hey, Mister. Would you like a doughnut?”
Silence.
“Hey, Mister. Would you like a doughnut?”
Silence again. Peeved, I was more adamant at the next invitation.
“Heeyyy, Misterrr. Would you like a doowwwnut?”
The man stopped what he was doing looked at me. I almost wasn’t quick enough to stay away from the onslaught of his hammer on my head. Now, I was determined not to let it happen to again since the only coverage I would get with a hammered head would be one of those 'acceptance for all' heath plans.
“Hey you. I’m not going to offer you any doughnut. What are you doing here?”
The other one turned to me.
“Oh no, sir. I’m a strict vegetarian. I don’t eat eggs. Doughnuts have eggs. But you can have my gluten sandwich.”
(The price of friendliness: $0, the look of relief on my face: priceless.)
They ended up being nice guys they said they were from Los Angeles at BH Kruper Windows Company. They said they had some more pictures of them on their window and door replacement website, which I found after some hassle.
