With the exception of last summer, the house next to us has been empty for a year. The owners recently did some work on the house, but no one has lived there for quite some time.
We're fine with that. An empty house is better than a house full of noisy people.

The empty house has a screened-in front porch complete with a screen door. The problem is that this screen door doesn't latch, so every single time the wind blows just right, the door opens and slams shut.
Fun, right?
This is Illinois and the wind blows three seasons out of the year. I've heard that door slam more times today than I can count. Part of me wants to call the owner and request that she do something about it (it's a rental house). The other part of me wants to walk over there and duct tape the door shut.
What would you do?
I would walk my butt over there and tape it shut. Or put a rock in front of the door so it won't slam.
ReplyDeleteIs there a way to use a bungee cord? If not, go with the tape. Then if you DO see them over there, go over immediately and say, hey you MIGHT want to get that fixed, I didn't want to have you come ALL the way out here... that is assuming that the person doesn't live right across the street or something.
ReplyDeleteI'd call them and tell them about it and possibly just put a rock in front of it, to stop it for now.
