Turning The Corner. AKA Windows On Our World






Wow. Every project has milestones- points where you know you have moved from one leg of the journey to another. So it is with this project- we have left the arena of DEstruction and moved on to the CONstruction.

The holes in the wall are all made. The plumbing, electrical and HVAC rough-ins are done. The framing for the island support wall is in.

Big Step on Friday- the new window was installed! Our interval with OSB over the big hole in the wall was mercifully short, and we can see out again. As you can tell by the pictures, it's set to mimic the big windows on the front of the house. Sherri has stained the woodwork, and we should get at least one coat of polyurethane on before the drywaller starts on Wed. to keep dust out of the grain.

Not much action for the next couple of days, then we go into a marathon stretch of drywall, paint, flooring and cabinets. 3 weeks of breakneck progress (I hope).

Oddly enough, we are on schedule for completion on time- if not exactly on budget.
