We Survived The Window Install Adventure

Long hot day of work well done.

That was a day. We survived the adventure of having new windows installed in our two flat. 18 windows in total between the two units.

We actually had the easy part as we moved to the basement while the crew did the hard work.

I’m not sure how the guys doing that hard work survived, but Daniel and his crew pulled it off like the professionals they are. Hot, sweaty work on a hot steamy day. They began unloading just after 7am and finished the job just before 5pm.

So, job well done. Kudos to the crew and kudos to Renewal By Anderson for every step along the way. We’re very pleased with the work.

Now that’s over, we’ll rehang some curtains and blinds, and then we’re on to new adventures for the rest of the summer.

Yeah, We Need New Windows

Tomorrow is going to suck. We’re getting new windows in our two flat.

As you can see, some are sorely needed, like these two on our converted back porch that serves as my office. So the suckage will hopefully pay off once we’re done putting the two untis back together again. Today was all about tearing them apart in preparation.

Given the predicted 90+ degree temps, we’re holding off on removing the air conditioners until the last second. That’s a pyschological game more than it is a real fix, but hey, we’ll take it.

Here’s hoping we make it through the day, and the job only takes one day.

Curtain Up

This is the third act of Life on The Wicked Stage.

There was a an Act 1 on the long since dead Windows Live Spaces (sorry no links available). There was an Act 2 on TypePad. Both of which seem like a several lifetimes ago. In addition there was some tech geek blogging and gadget reviewing on GottaBeMobile and some writing on various subjects on Medium.

So. Curtain up on Act 3. You don’t find many plays in the three-act form these days, which dates me. But I prefer to think of it has having the benefit of wisdom acquired through age. Or you can just call me old.
