Windows Progress
Still here. We taught out last class of the semester last night up in Evanston and our students organized and hosted an amazing all day conference last Saturday. It was amazing. And I am tired.
Between Grace and teaching and other things, the windows restoration project is chugging along.
That is the project schema for the windows. There were 44 windows but two in the basement got buried under the room that was added on. Two in the living room were ripped out entirely. So I'm working with 40 windows. And the storms that go with them in some cases.
The dark blue windows are restored and re-installed. The green windows are restored and not yet re-installed. The red windows have been stripped but not restored yet or re-installed yet.
The amount of windows that they placed on the first floor of the house (and I haven't identified the windows in two doors) kind of blows my mind. When we put those two living room windows back, there will be twenty eight windows on the first floor. That is a TON of windows. Bungalows are like that. Chicago Bungalows are estimated to have twenty windows on the first floor and we've beat that by eight...hah! Windows galore!
And now, I must go to sleep. Because I can tell I am starting to get punchy. Hopefully, this lone entry will be enough to convince my mom that I am not slacking off out here in Chicago....

Isn't it great to have visuals when you need to feel like you're progressing? I'm sending you good "git-r-done" vibes so you can keep moving through what must be a very tedious and boring task at this point.

Our Beverly bungalow has 26 windows on the 1st floor, and we've recently started a window restoration project. I expect this to be on the 2-3 year plan, as we work different shifts and only have the same days off every 6 weeks.
