In spite of the balmy weather, we were still able to accomplish our objective over the weekend, which was to get the house covered in Tyvek and install the porch windows (pics in previous entry). We still have two more windows to install including the picture window in the dining room and the small one above the sink. As we bought both of these windows used from an overstock warehouse, they are missing the installation nail strips. Scott is planning on rigging something up from some excess flashing we have lying around. It isn’t ideal, but considering that we saved nearly $1000 on the used windows, we’re not complaining!
We’re gearing up for another big weekend, and I must say, this is the part of the project that I am most excited about: demolition! We’ve been in our house three years as of June fourth, and I have been eager to rip out the kitchen from day one. Granted, this will be the official beginning of disaster central: uncontrollable dust, refrigerator in the living room, mock kitchen in the laundry room, sneakers on at all times, but even so, I cannot wait. And even though we don’t have an official time line established, we are precisely where we wanted to be at this point in the remodel.
If anyone feels like taking out aggression, feel free to swing by Sat-Monday. While the rest of the world relaxes, we’ll be swinging sledge hammers.
