Last of the windows in early Spring

How long have we been working on windows now? Seems like at least a year that we started the kitchen, so maybe a little over a year. Slowly, we've pieced them all in. We had to get the baby room ones done before summer. Here we are drilling holes for the added foam insulation.
Look at those panes. Beautiful. We're getting faster. I think with demo, these two took about 2 hours. Another 45 minutes to trim them out. Of course, I still have to caulk and paint the outsides.

We also decided to tackle the windows above the fireplace. They were a gross yellow, privacy glass pane that let in dirty light around 5pm. They were only $55 a piece, so we figured, why not just a simple window. It makes a world of difference. We're also kicking around the idea of a couple stained glass panels to fit over it....or just painting on some design.



The rest of the photos are just around the yard and house. We've been slowly trying to weed, get the garden ready, plant some new perennials. Things are slow going with a growing baby belly, but Buddy likes to help out. (yeah right)

Old windows ready for a Re-Store dropoff.
New lattice to help hide that ugly shed.

Planting mix is spread. Waiting for warm weather.

Hopefully this is a good before picture.
Old garbage can turns into new rain barrel. Full after a week!
Look at those new windows. Baby will love them.
Using the new table saw stand! No backaches to report.
