Vern: I really think we’ve bitten off more
than we can chew. I like do-it-
yourself projects, but installing
a new window and a new door isn’t as easy as
it looks.
Genevive: What we don’t know, we’ll learn
as we go. Okay, we’ve removed the old
window. This new double-paned
one is going to be great and it’ll
slide open and close easily, unlike
the old one. We just need to put in a new
frame first, and then we can move it
into place.
Vern: You make it sound so easy. Is the
screen going to fit? It looks too big.
Genevive: Oh sure, it’ll fit.
Vern: This latch doesn’t seem to be
working.
Genevive: It’ll work once it’s installed. Come
on, give me a hand. Hmm...the new
window doesn’t seem to fit exactly. I’m not
sure what the problem is. Let me think about
it. Let’s move on to the door and come back
to it later.
Vern: Are you sure?
Genevive: Sure, I’m sure. Installing the new
door will be easier and we can get it out
of the way.
Vern: Maybe we should wait until the window
is installed. If we can’t finish installing the
window and the door before
nightfall, it’ll be a very cold night in
the house.
Genevive: Don’t worry. Let’s see, first we
have to remove the old door without damaging
the jamb. The hinges are
rusted; it seems to be
stuck. Oh, I think it’s finally coming
off.
Vern: See? Replacing the door isn’t going to
be as easy as you thought, is it?
Genevive: I got it off in the end, didn’t I?
Vern: Yes, but will you be able to put in the
new one before I die of frostbite?
