The neighbors. Fall and winter reveal what's otherwise hidden by leaves: our neighbors' houses. These two are visible from the deck. They're both secondary residences and not occupied most of the year. And their "front" façades face away from us, so that even in winter there's really no vis-à-vis, as the French say.
The neighbor who owns the house on the right sent us a text the other day saying they'd be here on Thursday and possibly through the weekend. They haven't shown up yet (it's Friday morning as I type this). We shall see.
The shutter installation went well and was completed by lunchtime. We're really happy with how they work and how they look. Now we have a problem with our garage door installed about seven years ago by the same guys who do the shutters. The boss guy said that the motors on that door are crap and he's stopped carrying them. He can replace the motor on our door with a better one and give us a break on the price. He'll work up an estimate in the next few days. We need the garage door to work reliably since we keep one of the cars in there.
It’s a charming view. Great news about the shutters and about the honest boss guy!
ReplyDeleteAt least a motor is not a whole new door and a motor :)
ReplyDeleteNice view that only shows up now. We've had three days of snow and freezing rain, but the temperature is warming up and I plan on going out at the peak - around 45 in another hour. Smart and reliable garage door entrepreneur who is telling you what has transpired and then making it 'right' by offering you a discount for a replacement motor. Who could ask for more? The shutters that Ken showed us look terrific and the white really lighten up the kitchen even when they are closed.
