@Toronado: The maples are "Autumn Moon" and "Orangeola." Both two gallons, for 45 bucks a pop plus shipping. I originally ordered a single 3 gallon Autumn Moon for 90 dollars, but she was out of stock so gave me a deal on two 2-gallon trees instead. Saved about 30 bucks there. On another note.... I'm hoping we get a bit more rain and lower temps than usual during the first part of summer to help my new transplants cope. In addition to planting several things this spring, I also moved a few plants around in my garden... One of these was a green giant that I'm pretty sure I mangled the root system on... it was just so darned heavy with that big wad of mud around its roots.... So that one may be a goner no matter what. Otherwise, though, I have high hopes, except for the White Dogwood I planted, which seems to have died right after I put it in the ground... picky plant that one. lol.

We got an oak louver door through a local lumberyard/hardware store in '04. The door was from Rogue Valley--www.roguevalleydoor.com (style/model # 733). Their doors weren't cheap in '04, but they were the only ones we found who made a full louver door without a center stile, and would make it in oak. We had it stained to match our front door (and all the veneered oak interior doors that we installed). It's the nicest looking interior door in the house!

Doing a fridge/freezer combo shouldn’t be any more complicated than doing all fridge/all freezer columns. In any case, it’s a bit of a hassle to deal with at this point, but it will be worth it in the end. If you don’t care for the builtin look, I guarantee it will bug you after it’s installed. It’s a completely different look. You will be kicking yourself and wishing you had taken the little bit of extra time and effort to find and work with another cabinet company.

Scherr's used to have a pretty good reputation and they were nice to work with. I don't know if they are still good (I have no reason to think they aren't--I just haven't looked for cabinets lately!) and I suspect they are more expensive than IKEA, but not hugely so. https://www.scherrs.com/contents/en-us/d62_Frameless_RTA_Cabinets.html Four weeks might be pushing it for any cabinet company, though. Even in pre-pandemic times, that's asking for a lot.
