More House

Today was a very busy day. I thought I would try and replace one of the windows today. This process did not go as planned, but it all seems to work out somehow. I just now finished with one of the walls on the South part of the house and realized I need to document this for before and after pictures. This involved cleaning the wall, taking out a window and door, rebuilding the studs in the doorway to create a window opening, covering the wall with foam board, cutting and putting in fillers about the foam board and wrapping the wall. Maybe I will be able to install a window tomorrow. I think I have a good plan of action and was thrilled with how it is all turning out.

Here is the wall after it has been leveled off and the foam board is up.

Here it is with the house wrap on. The window opening to the right used to be a door.

Here is the wall as it once was.

Needless to say, it is great to be back in KC and be with Emily after being in for the past week to conduct the orchestra at Bethel Music Camp. Today was Mom and Dads anniversary. They were great to be around and it was great to be there too. Good luck with the moles!
