Yeah, but the factory had a giant jig that held the door in a predetermined position, while all he had to do was toss the bolts in and tighten them down. While we gray haired geezers are struggling with heavy concrete blocks, lumber spacers and wood wedges and old house jacks to aid in holding the doors. Of course it is going to take longer that way. If I had their special jig, I could probably beat the clock faster than he did.

Often, I'll be in a business parking lot and someone will say, hey, that's a really pretty car. And my reply might be something like; Well...I guess from a distance it ain't too bad to look at. (hoping they don't come for a closer look).
I don't really get it at all. Probably 95% of the cars in that parking lot look better than my dirty, musty smelling, rotten old contraption. And to think that they probably wouldn't get halfway down the block in it before wanting to bail out only hastens my bewilderment.
