We spent Thanksgiving at the cabin last year, pulling out the old loft (then stayed at the fancy Inn up the road to celebrate). This year, we spent the day before Turkey Day at the cabin, and we’re off to visit family today. So, a post in case they want the most up-to-date photos.
We are still in the midst of Windowfest 2014. But we’ve done a lot over the last week. Here’s the rundown:
- Say hello to my little friends! These little guys make it possible to work when it’s on the chilly side.
- We had to pull the panel at the end of last session, in order to caulk behind it during the last warm spell of the season (probably).
- And then yesterday, this newly restored sash went in! A favorite view – all rock.
- It was colder yesterday, so we turned on the propane blast furnace. Works really well…
- It actually got up to 70 degrees shortly after this photo.
- K added horizontal bracing to the walls. We are getting ready for projects during our winter break in a few weeks.
- This is why I got a good cover for my phone. It’s been through a lot and keeps on workin’.
- A foot of snow was on the way, but we had one more window to install.
- After much craigslist searching, we decided to use the sashes I bought for $5 each in September. They are Marvin wood and have integrated storms. A little carpentry and they were ready to install.
- And another favorite view. Our bathroom might have the best views in the house.
We have three more of those cute Marvins to install – hopefully this weekend while we have a little time off. And two more original windows are hanging out in our basement to be restored. We see the finish line on the window project. Hopefully we’ll get them done before New Year’s.
