Good Weekend

As you can see the weather
changed to our favor. And
we have a new window.

The King started at 7am, with
grandson in tow. Pulled the
last of the framing. Got ahold
of the glass, put it in to the
truck and off it went to my
friend, Lorraine, who is taking it to
it's next level... A greenhouse.

Back, he starts with removing
all of the old window sill.
Our grandson was taking
care of the removal of pieces
as they hit the ground.

I had decided to get rid of
a couch and chair. So it went
out the window hole. You have
no idea how easy that was.
Compared to how we got it
in to the house. Our house is
an old house so the doorways
are not what is now standard.
So it took twisting, lifting,
pushing and lots of cussing,
to get those into the house.
With the couch being a hide-
a-bed, lifting was a hernia
getter. And it took almost 2 hours.
Removal took about 10 minutes.

There it was a naked hole.
Over came our neighbor and
then his friend. Within 3 hours
of putting in a new sill. Replacing
all the old wood. In went the
window.

The King finished off the outside
framing, putting back shingles,
and etc. At 5:30 p.m. he was
beat. I put all the supplies and
tools away while he did the finishing
nailing.

On Sunday, after church, the King
replaced one drywall area that got
cracked during the work. Has all but
1/8 of the framing done now. It looks
so great.

Thanks to good neighbors, grandson,
and lots of hard work from all of them
and the King, it is well worth it. We can
feel the difference as the wind came up
on Sunday and none of it came in.

This summer....next... painting of the
house.

14th try to publish... if this doesn't work
it will be afternoon before I try again.
