I couldn't live with the cheap plastic, taped- together shutters on our kitchen windows anymore. It made no sense that the previous owners installed them there since they were forever in the way of the counter top underneath. So, off they came, courtesy of a Robertson screwdriver, and today I'm using wood filler and sandpaper preparatory to painting and installing curtains. I already have ones from a previous house and so the cost of this "improvement" is low.
Not much knitting action today.
