The catching of ups
First of all, thanks for all of the encouragement and help everyone has been. Second…bugger off if you don’t like how frequently I update this damned thing.
So, we’ve been busy as bees lately between final projects for school, bailing friends out of jail, and camping in our house…busy indeed. We’re several weeks into not having a stove at this point and I have to say…I don’t miss it too much. We’ve procured a fancy new crock pot and the weather’s been nice enough to do a little grilling. Mostly I’ve been cooking on our camp stove out on the back porch. I live in South St. Louis…this behavior isn’t as unusual as you might think…
There have been several small things we’ve done, like stripping at least a hundred layers of paint off of the inside AND outside of the transom window in the kitchen and driving the remaining screws into the new drywall (it’s just been tacked up with 5 or 6 screws per sheet so far. Mostly, the electrical work and utter lack of a ceiling has been the big deal, but that’s going to be its own post, and frankly, I might still have too much post-traumatic stress to finish writing about it today. For now, here are some during and after pictures of the transom window. Enjoy.
