Fall is upon us, so we tucked into the back window, which was in desperate need of repair, as there was no window, and no salvageable wood left in the arched frame, and really, there was almost nothing to repair. Got it?
Complete Removal.
Meanwhile, Hillbilly, our itinerant carpenter, had moved onto the green couch in the other room, and was guarding the estate like a caged raccoon. He was keeping out all the criminals who were trying to get in the back window to have an impromptu square dance. Good thing we covered all our bases.
Zac studies the guide book on how to put windows in open arched brick openings.
Zac is not afraid. He went down the the wood window place here in town, and we wrestled and tussled and measured and argued and delayed, until we had reached the conclusion that we had finally achieved perfect measurements.
Meanwhile, Hillbilly was tearing apart another room, the other room full of pianos, he ripped down all the wallpaper and found underneath it a mural. A distant from another time mural….:
Put some light on it!!!
Crazy Hillbilly, one room at a time!!!
Eureka paints my new broom I'd been lusting after. I thought it should be at least four feet wide, but I guess they don't sell those.....
And so the shop sits. It is almost December, and we have been enjoying the confines of our house, Hillbilly is still living in the shop (supposed to leave by the end of October) and things have slowed down. The kids are “homeschooling” this year, which just makes construction work a tricky business. I have bright hopes for 2012, maybe that will be the year of the “unfinished projects ban”.
