After the new upper-floor windows were installed and the bathroom window on the first floor was removed, the remaining kitchen window on the lower floor looked strange and noticeably off-center.

So Scott moved it.

It took him a day to do it. First he cut out the window and a space for the new location. He had to cut pipes that he'll have to redo later.

Then he framed in the new window.

Then he installed the new window. This placement will also give us space between the sink and the door where we can put cabinets above and below the counter.

Later he'll redo the porch with some columns, so I Photoshopped this photo of what it might look like.

Scott finished the siding on the final wall of the sunroom. Then he cut the grass.

On Saturday, Scott finished the river-side wall of the sunroom siding. Then he started the nature-preserve side . It took him all day because the surface prep is time consuming and the double-sided angles he had to cut on the siding for the peak was slow going.

I removed drywall, cleaned, and burnt some wood. The remaining drywall to remove included the office ceiling and some remnants higher up in the living room, office, and sunroom for which I needed a better ladder than I had when I first started that job. I got the sunroom down to studs except for a bit of board at the peak that I couldn't reach.

N0w Scott can wire everything easily and we can have fresh new drywall.

Scott finished the one side of the sunroom and started the wall facing the river.

Scott also removed the window today from the old bathroom in what will now be the kitchen pantry.

He also averted disaster. He got a box of roofing nails, put them on his bumper, forgot about them, and drove 60 highway miles without them falling off. He's very lucky they didn't fall off and break open on the road! He said they're not only good nails for roofing, they're also the perfect nail for puncturing tires. 

Scott started to side the house yesterday. But before that, there was buying the siding and getting it to the house.

In his signature style, Scott pushed physics to the limit to get the siding to the house stat.

He told me the company made him sign a release form before they would agree to drop it into his truck.

But he made it.

Ready to start.

Day one he got most of a wall done on the sunroom.

On Saturday, Scott took out and replaced the bottom row of the big upstairs windows. He had a narrow ledge to work on, and after he carried the windows to the second floor from the inside, he had move them to the outside through the openings and lift them into place before nailing them. It was nerve-wracking to me, but he said he wasn't nervous at all.

On Sunday, he put the top curved window in. This one he lifted on the outside of the building, but he said it was lighter. It was higher up, so I was praying the whole time he wouldn't fall. But they're in, and he's still with us.

To help him manage the windows from the outside, he build this ledge. So at least he was standing on something level, even if it was only 10 inches wide.

When I wasn't helping to stabilize a window, I was tearing out drywall in the living room and office, burning any wood trash I could, and cleaning up. ​

Oops, almost complete. I forgot about the last office window.

​Scott put in the final living room window today. Then he cleaned up, mowed grass, and trimmed overhang all along the drive.

Yesterday a nail went into his knuckle. Today, another nail went in the same spot. Ouch.
