Bowling...

This past week, I pulled up the rest of the carpeting in the room upstairs. The padding was dust but came up easily and there were not too many staples to pull. Looks like a bowling lane, it is one long, narrow room. My house documents say it is 37 feet long... ooh, I just looked and I am not even close, a bowling alley is 62 feet long... yikes.
Well, after I cleaned up the floor, I put the rug back down in anticipation of painting. I like this color and probably will not change it, just freshen it up.
I hung the new ceiling fan when I ran new wiring up here. I am not a big "fan" of ceiling fans but this room always has temperature extremes and I thought the fan would help with air exchange.

Saturday was one of the first warm days, it was glorious. I opened the windows for the first time in months. My upstairs windows had these weird awning things.

A closeup look shows it is nothing but a piece of siding nailed on to some wooden supports. I do not like how it blocks the light. A couple whacks with a hammer....


Gone...



Though I hate them, it was time to wash the aluminum screens and storm windows. I'm going to take these screens in to have some tighter weave screening put in. Many nights I am up late sewing and little bugs seem to make their way through the screens in toward the light.
