My neighbor, B, and I helped my neighbor, C, figure out what what was wrong with her sliding glass door. For years it hasn’t rolled smoothly. The three of us thought it would take quite a long time to figure out the problem and then figure out a solution.

In short - it seems simple to fix. The wheels at the bottom of the door are wonky. C will spend ~$50 bucks buying replacements and after she gets the parts and If things go smoothly - me and B can fix her door in ~30 minutes.

B said “I can’t believe how simple the problem is and how easy it should be to fix.” I agreed. I can’t quite explain why - but we were almost disappointed that this big project wasn’t big at all.

Maybe a hint of betrayal? You wanted a challenge and the door robbed that from you.
