Windows!

Hmm.. My timing seems to be off. I was gearing up to rip down walls and the window installer called me. He was ready to put them in on July 2! So I scurried around and made arrangements to push back doing the drywall and insulation in the bedroom.

During the install there was only one snag... One of the windows he had ordered was 8 inches out. Too short, too long, makes no difference, it didn't fit. So he re-ordered another (this time the right size) and installed the other three anyways. I have to say, they look great. Th installer will be back to do the last window in a few weeks, as they are custom made.

Today, I went out and bought some new blinds for some windows and just finished installing them. just doing that really dresses up the rooms. And makes the paint look dingy.

So, not only am I saving up money to do the large bay window in the front, but need to set aside enough to paint the walls and ceilings. Painting was definitely in my list of things to get done, but I don't want to do it until everything else is finished. That way we can patch all the holes and marks on the walls from my fumbling around with tools I should have never been given!

Work on the fence in the backyard has stopped for a week or so. Not only is it too hot, I've been working full day shifts lately. his cuts down on the time I have to do any sort of work in the morning before it gets too hot to zero.

A good friend of mine will be in town this weekend. I haven't seen him in several years. It will be good to see him.
