So my current postie is a lady called Sasha.
Suddenly I look forward to having parcels delivered, maybe I should order more stuff.
Working from home kinda sucks, it’s lonely, trust me.
She has been chatty, and in less of a rush to just throw your post or parcels at you, like an Aldi checkout assistant.
Today she delivered a small, heavy parcel. It surprised me.
Check the price of postage.
So the hinges I had bought for £13.50 had arrived.
I messaged @PaulY and mentioned the postage which was included in the price, kinda bothered me.
Before I could say what I planned, he suggested I offer to pay part of the postage back to the seller. There are many people right now in financial dire straits, selling stuff to keep alive.
So £3.50 off the £10.00 is £6.50 and £4.00 is probably 70% of the knock. Keeping up in the back?
So I messaged him
And this was his reply.
Hopefully Karma is happy too.
Life is good if you try spread a bit of the good.
Then I tried the hinges which are bloody heavy, like a pound of butter, up next to the mock up door.
Then outside to try them up against the Rezin Rockit, looks like the original hinges were a lot smaller.
There is also a significant space or rebate behind it where the door frame will fit in.
I spoke to Darren earlier too, asking if I could use his some of his tools at the shop.
I need to put a slight bend in the leading edge plates to deflect wind and allow a place to attach the net. Using my own home made metal bender may not be so tidy.
Darrens will do, thankfully.
I also asked if I could use his bead roller..... yup, roll a bead around the edge to create a but of strength and rigidity.
He replies that I was welcome to come over and use any tools, and that there was a cat waiting for attention.
Made me smile for sure.
Life is good yes.
