Over the hump?

For now, it appears all the major hurdles have been jumped.  Nelson and I have compromised on many decisions (the essence of marriage) and the stress is beginning to dissipate slowly.  There's a few things left to purchase, but for now they can wait.

The surprises up until now, have been few.  Today, that changed.  Apparently our attic, where the AC unit is housed ( retrofitted a number of years ago), has some things wrong that "aren't to code" and could cause illness and damage if not fixed.  Better to find this out now and get it repaired than deal with the stress of what could happen if we don't.  The joys of an older home.

The guys were hard at work on moving the window.  Originally there were two windows in the space.  One is being removed, and the other relocated to the toilet closet.  We're adding three skylights, so that will add plenty of natural light to make up for a window loss.  The lead guy asked me this morning "are the skylights in a good spot for you?"  I couldn't resist....."and if they aren't?" I asked jokingly.  Luckily, he laughed.

Here's today's progress:

                                                 The black is where the windows used to be.

                                           Large window covered up, soon to be my sink area.

                                                   The toilet will sit just below the window.

                                                           Ahhhhh......vaulted ceiling!
