But we are redoing the house windows…which are extremely hard to open and worse to clean. That turned up as it seems the seal on the 8×6 picture window has broken and let water in. Sigh. We found that when we were doing the last of the living room.<\/p>\n
The only thing we will say about this job is that we are not doing the windows. Moving a 1700 lb fishtank is one thing. Hoisting a double-glass 8×6 monster into place is another. So we have contracted to have it done. This was not expected, but it will be nice to open and close a window without risk of back injury. <\/p>\n
11 windows, six of them fixed-pane glass and no two of the same dimensions..can’t be opened and therefore if we burn something in the kitchen, it’s hard to ventilate the place. Five single-hung windows of varying size. We’ve fixed and fussed with them since we got the house, and replacing that one monster—it’s taking up about a 5th of the window budget all on its own. And is NOT the one we would choose to replace. So we’re doing the whole thing, to get the two we most want to replace. We’re converting two of the fixed-glass ones so they can ventilate. <\/p>\n
So the kitchen gets put on hold yet again—it’s the old story with renovating: every step done discloses another problem. Another reason to have the pros do it. Maybe they won’t find anything that needs doing next.<\/p>\n
The good news is, the floor is gorgeous. We love it. We love being able to slide on it. So do the cats. I wish I’d had a pic of Shu running to land on a folded fluffy rug we have been using for padding. It traveled, and he was quite delighted by it. He did it again later. Much better than a cat bed. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
