An Inch Too Far

What am I talking about? Dryers.
And actually, they are about 2 inches too big.

Em had the thought a couple weeks ago about whether or not the washers and dryers we were looking at would fit through the doorway into the laundry room in the new house .... and if the curren't owner's appliances would be able to fit when the wanted to remove them (we think they finished the basement after they had them down there).

Through our realtors we found out that the doorway is 27 inches and they made no comments about realizing they couldn't get theirs out and would we like to buy them (darn!).

Well thats just dandy, but the two pairs we were trying to decide between both have dryers that are just a little bit bigger than that. The washers would just fit (~ 26.5") but the dryers have part of the drum sticking out behind.

So, we aren't exactly sure what we are going to do about it. We will probably look around a bit more and see if we can find a pair that will fit, but the most likely solution will be trying to remove the door frame while we move stuff in, and not break it too much.

Its a bummer (we had found some great deals this past weekend). But at least we know it in advance.

This past weekend was a ton of family stuff (celebrated Em's parent's anniversary by coordinating a surprise dinner at the same place we had our rehearsal dinner), barbeque's, and a trip to Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery to see my grandpa's grave and pay respect to the veterans buried there (the boy scouts put flags on every grave each year which is nice).

Tuesday our softball game was rained out for the 3rd time. So far in 7 weeks of play we are 1-1-2-3 (wins/losses/by-weeks/rain-outs).
