Basement windows are done, Project "Pain in the Glass " is completed , It came out well , replaced the rotted sills got the new windows in and sealed up. even after spending most of Friday in the E.R. oh well another story for another day perhaps . I did not think about taking pictures until about half way through the reinstall process. Now I can work on rederrainging the shop space into something that flows a bit better.

I am happy the election is over and we can forget politicians for a bit . The Holiday season rapidly approaches and it is a time to spend with family and friends. Deer season starts this weekend and Thanksgiving next week ! I do not plan on hitting the woods, going to put the windows in and then put the shop into order . I need more light down there , going to have to figure that part out.

Gotta get some construction adhesive too. Almost forgot Wonder what else I'm forgetting...

That is where I have wanted the bench but I didn't want it in the way when I fix the windows. That will allow me to rearrange the workspace to actually work .
