on saturday mathew hoped to get a new bathroom window installed, replace the removed (and improved) siding on the outside of the house, and install the sub-floor. we’re always so optimistic about what we can get done in the 8 or 9 hours of daylight and noise-making time each saturday and sunday. mathew usually spends much of saturday running around buying materials.
here mathew is removing the old framing for the bathroom window. to get at everything, he needed to remove siding and framing from the outside of the house. and i was scraping, sanding and painting (sealing) the siding, to put back after the window is installed.
(above left) we received a delivery of plywood (for the new bathroom vanity), cedar flooring (naturally water and mold resistant) and more insulation. (above right) our late afternoon view of the mission district and potrero hill, as our laundry dries on a cold, windy but sunny day. the mission seriously does get the best weather in san francisco.
everything was ready for the window to be installed by the time the sun went down so i convinced mathew to wait till the morning. we don’t need him climbing on the outside of the house, after dark! but we’re no where near putting in flooring or interior paneling…
and later, in his workshop, mathew made these pretty frames that will go around the upstairs, bedroom window.
