Fridge and Windows

Finally, now everything is done (with the exception of a few small details.) I was able to cancel my fridge order and got the same fridge from a local dealer in Daly City, who had it in stock in a warehouse in Arizona. I only had to wait one week to get this counter-depth fridge.

Getting the refund from the retailer for the canceled fridge was an adventure in and of itself. They were willing to refund but according to them, it was a mishap that I didn't get my refund. I finally got it after about 2.5 weeks. When the trust level becomes low, it's all the more frustrating to deal with issues like these. But I'm grateful that it was happy end!

This past Tuesday I got the microwave, which I had ordered online at HomeDepot's site. There was a delay also because they "couldn't track" my order... Anyway, after two calls to customer support, it got shipped. I had to order it online, instead of buying it from the store, because they have a limited number of microwaves on display, which don't have the dimensions that I need. I'm so glad I don't have to order any appliances anymore, hopefully for some time!

This past Wednesday the new windows were installed. There are still some extra wood pieces that need to be added to the exterior of the windows. The installer said it needs to be done by a carpenter. I will ask the contractor to do it.

Here are some pictures.
