Tremendous Tuesday

Piggy-backing on the momentum we established Sunday, my dad, my neighbor, the Goddamn Genius, and I got to work on the remaining windows and the front door to complete the solarium project..for now.
An inside view after the progress we made Sunday.
Window wall!
Dad had the day off yesterday, so he spent the afternoon tearing things apart and getting ready for us to put it all back together. By the time Mark (Goddamn Genius) came over, we were in good shape to get things rolling. A couple hours later, we had both new windows and the new door framed, installed, and sealed in!
Mark: Taking Care of Business..in a flash!
Framing the windows and front door. The new door was about three inches wider than the old door, so we had to do a little cutting to get everything just right.
This room went from being more-or-less wasted space to now being really cool, historically accurate wasted space ;) All kidding aside, it’s going to be a really cool spot to read a book, or just hang out and watch the activity on the street..and grow plants!
Winding down for the afternoon.
Getting everything sealed up for the night. No bugs or bats allowed.
It's really going to look cool once all the trim has been hung...but it looks pretty cool now, too!
Now for a little drywall patching and wood trim inside, and exterior trim and siding outside! Stay tuned for the progress this weekend – the light at the end of this tunnel is getting brighter all the time! J
