Doors, Windows, Heat, AC, and Gizmo

Putting in the Windows and Doors

Come on in....		 Scan1718
Mike makes the opening
for the door a little wider...
probably cursing about
cutting thru another lag bolt...
eats up those chains....
 		 Scan1721
Terry nails the
window in place...
apparently Mike didn't
know that Terry had
called a smoke break...
 
Scan1720
Mike measures and installs
the window buck for this one.
 		 Scan1719
Terry cuts some cedar
for the window trim.
Scan1722
YES!  I was thrilled to be
able to rip that crummy plastic out of these windows...
   		Scan1723
The front bank of
windows is installed!
Check out the view!
Scan1730
Still need the glass
for those upper
six windows, but...
 		 Scan1724
...it looks pretty
friggin' cool
anyway....
 		 Scan1732
How cool is this?
I've got windows!
And doors too!
Scan1726
Dad works on installing
the door locks...which was
a huge project cause they
were not drilled correctly.
 		 Scan1731
Looks kind of like a
checkerboard with
only two of the doors
painted blue, huh?		 Scan1725
Mike and Terry
suggested this cedar
trim and style.
Scan1735
Oh yeah!
 		 Scan1733
Careful walking out
that door with no porch
there to catch you...		 Scan1736
The front door and
window complete
with Cedar Trim.
Chinking Around the Doors and Windows
Scan1737
We got a little
creative here.
 		 Scan1738
But we all like the
way it looked!		 Scan1739
We still need to
stain the cedar, so
it will blend in better.

Mario and Eddy,
my chinking crew...

the heating system

Burning more
garbage
Scan1748
Gary staining on
three levels of
scaffolding high...
not bad since he
used to be afraid
of heights, huh?
 		 Scan1749
This shot gives you
a good idea at the
color difference
before and after
the staining
 		 Scan1746
Mom and dad
painting the door.
Going with Blue
Doors to match
my metal roof.		 Scan1747
Dad, still fighting
with the door knobs
and door locks -
but he seems to
be enjoying himself
 
Scan1742
Dad installs some
temporary stairs so
that Mom can get
into the cabin.
 		 Scan1750
Way to go Gary...
those goggles are
doing wonders sitting
on top of your head...
and I'm sure that mask
is working well too.
 		 Scan1745
Eddy and Mario,
still at it.......
Will this chinking
ever end?
