Window flower box
The flowers are finally planted in the window flower box! We are looking forward to the Oriental Lilies blooming!
Deck steps
We'll eventually build a deck but I wanted to build a set of steps from our morning room into our back yard. I was determined to do this task myself and after a little research, a lot of time at Lowe's (with Kelley even going back to get the correct set of brackets) and a lot of measuring, they're installed!
Lamp post
I won't go into the whole story but our lamp post was not installed before our concrete. I started noticing other newer builds having their lamp posts installed and still no lamp post for us. Boo, well it finally got installed and it looks great.
Furnace filters
I have to say the whole subject of finding replacement furnace filters has been very frustrating! I went to Lowe's and bought a very nice, 12 month, Filtrete Allergen 16" x25" x 4" replacement filter. I brought it home and it didn't fit. So, I looked at the original filter and looked at the measurements a little more closely. Why in the world, do they have 16" x 25" x 4" on the filter when those are not the correct measurements! The correct ones are 15 3/8 x 24 3/8" x 3 3/4" and yes those do make a difference in a filter fitting! So, I went to return the Filtrete filter to Lowe's and went to the Home Depot and same story there. I finally decided just to check AAF's website and their web store didn't even carry the filter. I then decided to email AAF and they said the nearest AAF rep was in Columbus. I then turned to Google and found a company here in Dayton, BDI, that was willing to special order the filters for me at a very good price. FYI, these filters come in a case of 6.
