New Window
One of the greatest thing about living in a
falling down ruin of a house is that you feel absolute freedom to modify it on a
whim. When a house starts out as bad as ours, any change is an
improvement.I wanted a window facing
the creek in my office, so we're cutting one. Boom! We just grabbed a crowbar
and a couple of hammers and started whacking away at the wall. Destruction is
fun. (You can see the progress of this on my webcam.) In the process, we've
discovered a couple of long-dead termite colonies. (I think they starved to
death.) For the most part, though, the wall was in better shape than I
expected.In time, there will be a
couple of beautiful French windows that match the other pair in my office, but
for now we're just cutting a hole I can see out of, and covering it with
plexiglass.Life is good.
