All construction is done: no more windows and doors held together with tape. Presently basking in the glow of a door that shuts without throwing my shoulder into it.

We have a side door. And two new windows in The Paintshop. And two new basement windows that aren’t blown out by floodwaters and held in with boards, cardboard, sprayfoam caulking, and tape. All that remains is the trim and pretty-ness. Victory.

Day one of window project is complete. New window is in and dogs are generally contained. Presently fighting with the shelf above the side door which is getting replaced (the door, not the shelf - but I won't be surprised if my efforts in removing it require replacement of the shelf: oh, how I love painted-sealed screws). Glass blocks not in place so I've improvised another failsafe window until they can be. Yet to break out in poison ivy: would be the first time in 42 years if I do. Trim and seal and door and glass blocks tomorrow, apparently.

Construction guy is here: the ivy-shattered six-by-six display window has been removed and is in the process of being replaced with two smaller, more residential style windows as no one is selling paint in the Paintshop these days. Meanwhile, I've fought a battle against basement window poison ivy in preparation for their replacement with glass blocks which will hopefully be done before the major rain comes today. If not, I'll be spending my evening preventing basement flooding.
