Phew.

The wind is blowing like a windy winter day. It is straight out of the north and my office building faces north. The wind hits the building and it is blowing the outside glass door to the foyer open. That would not be real problem except the inside glass door to the foyer had broken latch and the wind is strong enough to blow that door open enough to make the entry door bell sound off. We can't see the front door from our production area so we rely on the door bell to tell us someone came in.

I could close the huge heavy steel front door but everyone would think we are closed. I was forced to do building maintenance. I had to take apart the latch mechanism for the glass door to figure out why the latch was not working. It was a tough 4 minutes of work to take it apart and lube it up. I bet that mechanism is the same one from the 1980s when the building was put up. It is all fixed and I don't have to listen to the constant ding dong of the door blowing open. The heat loss alone will be worth the time to fix it.
