And so it begins...

This maybe the longest post EVER.

Yesterday our dear friend and first class carpenter John Golsby arrived to start working on our windows. We are replacing all of the windows (5) on the south side of our house.

Here are two before shots:

One window had a leak and the previous owners just shot some expanding foam in it for a quick fix. It didn't fix it at all. this is what it did:

Great work, foam.

Nice insulation, right? There is no insulation in our house--except what we put in the kitchen and now here.

This project ALMOST got out of hand real fast when we discovered that it might be easy to go ahead and take the bathtub out through the wall. because it was exposed like this:

But that was quickly nixed--must. not. stray. from. plan. (too far anyway.)

Can you handle this enormous job, john? His response:

:)

So john, being the beast that he is ripped out two windows in two days.

Gnarly weather is supposed to be rolling in within the next few days so we wrapped up as much as we could and will begin again sometime next week.
