Started the debris bonfire first thing in the morning; still smoldering at dusk…  Sonny and Brandon installed the clothes washer and dryer.  The electrical outlets for both were, of course, at exactly the wrong height, but the acceptable solution was simply to leave a gap behind both units for socks to fall into, never to be seen again.  After considerable “discussion” between Chree and me over placement of towel bars and toilet paper holders, Brandon installed those items in the master bath and put up the towel bars in the guest bath.  The toilet in the half bath is too close to the wall to put a toilet paper holder next to it (and placing it under the window was unacceptable to Chree), so Chree went down to Rutland and procured a stand-alone TP holder that will fit under the pedestal sink.  A good compromise, with only moderate scarring.  Sonny (with some minor help from me) cleaned out the garage, including loading the Tacoma with cardboard; a second load still is piled in the corner.  Chree and I went down to Pittsford for a delightful 44th anniversary dinner at the Harvest Moon Café.  Exquisite food accompanied by a 2014 Bardolino from Italy that our serving person recommended.
