Week 8

Ahhh. 13 days and counting till move in. Let the stress...well, continue. It was window weekend for Eric and the team.

The aftermath.

AFTER - yes, the siding has to be fixed.

BEFORE
AFTER - now I hate that red deck even more than before.

BEFORE
I am very proud of my cabinet sanding. 25 doors/drawers, both sides. Can you believe these are 60 year old doors?
Pretty. All ready to be stained and get modern hardware.

Eric said he was practicing his contractor butt crack. I told him he was ruining the picture.

The master bedroom windows were aligned so they had to frame in the window.

OMG. It's light in the master bathroom. And a HUGE mess. They installed the window and....no wonder it smelled bad in there. MOLD. Who wallpapers a concrete exterior wall? Well, no more mold. But, a mess. I'm so glad the nice subs thought to leave the toilet paper holder for us. I think this bathroom just got priority over the upstairs. Jeff, get your hammer ready. I have a feeling this will be your Thanksgiving project. :)

The west exterior wall we found out had dry rot. Nice. 2.5 hours later, new sheathing.

Eric's pride and joy. The kitchen windows.

Front bedroom window. For all those wondering, yes, we still have to fix the drywall around the windows and install trim and a sill.

Master bedroom framing from the inside to align windows. We will be living upstairs initially while we furr out this wall with drywall so you don't see the stepped foundation wall.
