Day 247: May 9, 2008

It's been a shopping sort of day.

It all started with the patio dining set. Gary and Jimmy weren't sure there'd be room to put this one we found last night on a raised platform on the deck like I had hoped.

So Bud and I went back to Home Depot and bought the set late this morning. Our job is to put it together so the guys will know whether to build the platform next week.

We took a break from assembly with three chairs to go. We'll get back to that Sunday.

Yesterday, we discovered that Raymond, the guy who was going to provide our gas fireplace, doesn't sell them anymore. This afternoon, Bud and I endured an hourlong wait a store Raymond recommended only to find out the insert was out of stock.

Since Jimmy said "the sooner, the better" this morning when I asked him how soon we should get the insert, we decided to buy the floor model instead of waiting two weeks for a special order.

And since we obviously hadn't shopped enough after all of that, our last stop was the mall. We're exhausted!
