Ok, this is going to sound stupid but I was playing around a broken table. (Basically if you move it a little the leg will fall off and the table will fall over)

So anyways I knocked the table over and it landed really hard on my arm (plus it is very heavy), and Im positive I broke my upper forearm area/ulna,radius. But the thing is my mom told me to not fool around with it, and if I tell her I will be in so much trouble. Ive knocked it over before, and bruised my shoulder, plus broken my collar bone. She grounded me for four weeks after I was healed, and it wasn’t pleasant.

So I plan on telling her this, and I want to know if it sounds plausible.

I was teasing my cat my opening and closing the patio door (heavy, sliding glass door with steal frame), but I kept my arm in the track/frame area to make sure that he wouldn’t be able to get through/get hurt when I close the door. So being stupid I didn’t move my arm fast enough and I slammed the patio door hard on my upper forearm.

Basically I felt something crack and it hurts a lot, so I need to get it checked out but if i tell her the truth she will be beyond mad at me.

So does the door excuse sound believable?
For your information I always play around, and tease my cat. (He loves going outside, and hates being denied)

Thanks for answering, and sorry for all the details. (Took forever to type )
Also I asked here because this is where all the best answers are.
I would tell her the truth, but if I do she won’t let me get a job later this summer, or hang out with friends.

Otherwise I would tell her. (This time last year I would have, but I can’t this year…..)

I’m looking for a sliding glass patio door to replace mine. I would like it to have a little window or a little opening on the top half of the door, so that I can open the window to let fresh air in without having to open the whole door.
I have searched online, but have had no luck finding this so far.
Thank you.

My old sliding glass patio door slides to the outside instead of the inside, which of coarse limits my extra security options. I’ve also read that they are easy to lift off the track and break into from the outside with this type of install. Is there a way to switch this around without too much troubleshooting? I’m an average handyman at best. Or should I think about a replacement? And if a replacement is the answer, what would be more secure: French or sliding patio door? Thanks

It’s a standard, sliding glass patio door on the second floor balcony. Approximately 8 or 9 feet wide total.

I can feel cold air coming through like crazy , and it’s not even officially winter yet!

I have vertical blinds which i must keep up and usable and I can’t do any permanent changes because this is an apartment.

I am getting a new patio door, sliding glass installed. Generally how much should it cost for the price of the door, and the installation?
