CMR: What a difference a day makes

Or in some cases - - what a difference a week makes.

Big holes covered in plywood become amazing wonderful windows:

Crappy looking drywall inserts start to look like real walls in the master bath:

Invisibilty becomes the word of the day between seeing where the old door used to be and seeing smooth seamless plaster in the library:

Exterior waterproofing is covered with siding:

And sometimes, just sometimes it really does all happen in a day! From Saturday morning to Sunday morning A raw gaping hole becomes a door!

Now the atrium is filled with three new, beauteous french doors and one crazy-nice supersized rectangular window....


This week also brought a little miscommunication in the "window department." Middle of the week, GC Paul reported that the hall windows had come in early. There was much rejoicing!! Early is GOOD! This information resulted in a quick emergency mobilization of the demolition guy who came over on Wednesday afternoon to rip out all the old hall windows. his expertise left us with a very large, super airy hole in the hallway in front of the master bedroom door. Pretty hole, huh?



Bad news? The window people lied. Not all the windows were ready to be inserted in to the obviously window-wanting holes. Only one lone window was ready.... here it is leaning in the living room (beside the new atrium door). It can't be inserted until all the windows are here. No news on when the rest will be ready. In the meantime, our hallway has a very open feel to it. Open as in literally open....
