farewell, gentlemen

It’s official: with the exception of some monkeying around with the former cellar window – scheduled for the spring sometime – the guys are all done. Yep.

Jonathan was here for much of the day, working on…

1. The former cellar window, on the inside.

He slapped up some more concrete. In another couple of hours, I’ll go down there and shave off the bit that is slumping. One more layer in the spring, he thinks. And at that time, he’ll also monkey around on the outside of the house. No pictures of that right now – too damn cold.

2. More curtain rods

Remember how we’d hijacked him last week to put these up for us? The fun continued today with the east-facing windows.

We’d thought we would have three panels here, but with the middle support bracket in the way, we can only have two. Fortunately, the panels are wide enough to cover the span just fine. There’s a bit that needs a painting touch-up from yours truly, as partway through we decided the support bracket should be hiked over a few inches.

And over by the bed…ta-dah…

These are a slightly different color from the others, but they still have that groovalicious 70’s feel.

3. Grab bars for the tub/shower.

Wee little grab bars, strategically placed. When they framed in the tub, they wrapped the whole thing in plywood before putting in the (mildew-resistant) drywall, so there was no worry about trying to find studs.

That’s it for today…
