WORK CONTINUES

After a quick trip to Kansas to visit the family, Handyman has spent the rest of the week at the cabin. He's making progress on the remodel. While we were making the trip home, he phoned the local lumber yard and ordered what will be our entry door (a fifteen-light door). He was going to order the windows too, but we couldn't remember exactly how many lights there were in each window (it was 4) so he had to wait until we could check out pictures before he could order them. The door should be in next week and the windows the week after that. The two kitchen windows were only storm windows so he's replacing them with single hung double pane windows. Two of the upstairs windows are really narrow and won't let in much light or air so he's replacing those also. On Wednesday, he got all of the ceiling tiles taken down. It was quite a task since they had been screwed on and then the seams all filled with caulk that covered the screws! He also did some electrical re-wiring. He removed several splices that had been made by previous tenants and replaced the wiring correctly. Last week he rewired the upstairs and put up wallboard. Today he was going to remove the door that opened into thin air and the wallboard in the bathroom and kitchen so he would be able to work on the plumbing. All of the kitchen plumbing was in the floor, not in the wall, so he's going to move all of that so we'll have more storage under the sink. It has been a huge task just to figure out what order to do the work. I am so lucky to have such a great handyman around that can tackle such a daunting project! It will be so great to be able to go up there and spend time together once the project is finished.
