Day 229 - Window Exchange

Rob came over today and helped Nathan to remove the window from Maddie's baby room and move it to its new place in the extension. I can't believe how easily windows come out of houses, I think the hardest part was actually lifting it down once it was cut free. It seems strange to be dismantling the baby room, and I actually felt a little sentimental when we started pulling it apart, but it is awesome to be finally taking such a big step in getting the extension moving. 

Once we worked out that we didnt want the bathroom window close to floor level, it didn't take long to get all of the new framing in place for the bathroom window and the window itself installed. The Tyvek proved to be a bit more of a challenge though, it is so slippery so it proved to be quite frustrating to get it attached and tucked under the old work in a way that was taught enough to be weather proof.




I took this photo of the window in its new place while Nathan and Rob were cladding over the hole in the wall around the bathroom window. It wasn't until I had uploaded them and Leah told us to look at it that we saw this creepy reflection of Maddie in the window. She is unrecognisable and if it wasn't for her top we would probably still be arguing that it isn't her.





While I was attempting to rip apart the old wardrobe from Maddie's old room the pry bar bit me and it hurt. A LOT. The wardrobe is really hard to break apart and once I had hurt myself after only about 10 minutes I decided to call it a day and not risk further injuries. Hopefully all of the plaster comes down easier and without injuries.
