Almost ready for sheetrock
11:43:32 pm on February 17, 2007
The house is coming along okay, although it’s never fast enough. In the last couple weeks all the remaining demolition was done, electrical for downstairs is 99% complete, almost all the framing is done, and now I just need plumbing so I can call in for an inspection and start covering things up. Then, I need sheetrock, paint and finish work. I also have a nicer, larger front door installed now too. It’s time to start planning out the kitchen layout.
I’m seriously struggling with whether I want to replace the windows or not. I do WANT to replace them for efficiency and to make them look way better than the crappy ones that are in here now, but I just don’t want the associated bill that comes along with it. Its a rather large one, and I can probably pay for the new roof and siding with the amount it’s going to cost for the windows.
I think I may hold off, and do them when I do the siding, if I want/need/can afford them at that time. Although, then I start thinking about how crappy it will be with almost everything being brand new, and having some old crappy windows in place. It’s a vicious cycle I tell you. We’ll see. If the siding underneath is good enough to keep, I may do the windows. Otherwise, I may just re-side the house and leave the windows as they are.
