Gary and Jimmy said they can't recess the refrigerator into the wall for lots of reasons -- from the structure of the house beyond the wall to the fact that plumbing and electrical are already inside it.

So after we talked to them this morning, I called Bryan, who's supposed to call back with his possible solution.

We took care of some other house errands this afternoon.

We picked up the storm door from Lowe's and delivered it the garage. While Bud prepared the deck lights for the guys, I went back to Lowe's to return one of the lights that didn't have its lens cover.

We also picked up the bottoms to the dining room chairs from the refinishing place and took them to be reupholstered. While we were near Lowe's again, we checked on interior shutters.

Then we went back to the house, did some rough measuring on the windows and decided it's beyond ridiculously expensive to put the shutters on all of them. So we're thinking we'll do a combination of shutters and Roman shades.

Last step: Back to Lowe's to turn in our 'Measurement Estimate Request Worksheet,' so that someone will come take measurements. We have to take a piece of trim too so we can choose a paint color.

I already ordered a couple of different sizes and colors of shades for us to try.

Oh, almost forgot the picture. The siding subcontractors started working on the columns today.
