Rain Slowing Us Down

Friday morning we switched out my dining room window.  It didn't take long to pull out the old one.  Putting the new one in was pretty quick as well since we could use the frame that was already there.  After lunch, rain was threatening, so we didn't do the living room one since it's exposed.  The dining room window is under an overhang, so it's protected.  Instead of getting that one in a precarious, leaky situation, I put the flashing around the window.  Stucco will come at some point in the future.  Mom and Dad worked on repairing some door moulding.

Saturday morning we went to a carpet store to see if they had something I liked at a reasonable price.  They did!    Floorman is coming out on Friday to measure.  That afternoon Mom and I worked on putting some insulation in the dining room wall.  When the window was out, Dad could see that there was none there.  Mom cut an opening just under the window wide enough for me to wiggle the insulation through.

Dad worked on door moulding and transition strips between the hall and bedrooms.

Sunday, Dad finished installing door moulding and put up the floor moulding in the hall.  That had been on hold until the door moulding was done.  I got the ceiling trim for the master bedroom denailed, cleaned up, and painted.  Mom patched up the hole from Saturday under the window.

We're getting there on the house.  There should be an open house sometime this summer.  Here's the still to do list (created Sunday afternoon):
