Well, it looks like this for at least another 30 minutes. Then I really have to get up and get busy.

As I’ve mentioned, I usually spend my vacation time working on the house, and this week is no exception. I have a rough outline of what I’m trying to accomplish before next Sunday, but my basic plan is just to move through the house gradually, completing as many projects as possible in one room before moving on to the next.

But: I will paint the living room windows. I will. (The insides, at least.) Because it has been four years (!) since we bought this house, and there is just no excuse for them still being covered with peeling yellow paint.

Meanwhile, I’m trying to keep the dogs from going totally bonkers while workers climb around on the roof. I think they’re installing the roof hatch today, and maybe finishing a chimney. Tomorrow…basement windows? I hope so. As fun as it’s been having rotting plywood instead of glass for the past four years, I’m looking forward to this little improvement to the underbelly of our domicile.
