All 6 new windows are in and they look great, clean, new, big, lovely. No construction today. Today I am going to try and get the kitchen set up. I have way too much kitchen stuff and these are inefficient 30 year old cabinets. Too high, some are open, wrong sized spaces. We are hoping for a kitchen remodel next year so my goal is just to wedge it all in and get rid of all that does not fit.

This is where I work. I am amazed that a place that was built in the 70s actually had a small home office. This is on one end of the living/dining area. Cute old chandelier with mismatched prisms is begging for some embellishment. Nice that I don't have to work out of the second bedroom. That means we can have a guest room again.

John borrowed the window guy's sawzall and took out the desk. So I can accommodate my 2 nice white Techline desks after the remodel.

To the left is that odd terrarium space. It is a little over 4'x6' which is way too much wasted space. So one wall will be coming out to enlarge my office space.

John emptied out all the rock and...

this is what we have found. We need to replace the floor in this area too. Leaky windows, rotten sills, water stains seem to be where ever we pull something out. But so far it is no worse that we had expected. And this is the year to get the tax deduction on energy efficient things like windows, doors etc.
