“Dear PoP,
I have a hideous awning hanging over the front door. I cannot remove it without some plan because there is a big concrete slather over the brick underneath where it hangs.
I had planned to take it down and have the house painted which would mask the concrete slather a bit, but the thread last week has scared me away from that now.
I did some googling and saw a concave metal awning that I love and I think I will replace with that, get a new door (which I wanted anyway but needed to work out the awning situ first) and add window boxes.
All that said, I have three questions for your readers…
Has anyone dealt with this awning issue and what did they do?
And are there any recs for a place in the area where I can get the new awning?
Any recs for a place in the area where I can get a door like the one in the new awning pic? I would prefer to avoid HD or Lowes if possible.”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
