Aug 20th- 3 day weekend project

Long weekend, semi-vacation this year. We hauled up a BBQ grill and 2 new windows plus the window salvaged from Emily's house. Went to Home Depot and loaded up on wood and supplies. Started work on chimney for woodstove and then had to decide on what windows to pull out. Saturday blew up and was spent mainly watching clouds and trees, too stressed to work. After church I decided the front window was a doable project with limited time and limited energy. The back 2 windows are the same size windows but it requires a good thinking head to build the frame and install all 3 windows at the same time.
The suction cup holders worked great, was able to pop the window completely out with no troubles. Need to bring glass cutter and cut them into two pieces. Picture here shows old glass windows pulled out. Not much was holding them in. Sunday saw ledt two windows out then Monday got the last one out.
New front windows put in. Hank providing colorful accent to front yard.
Note- need corkscrew at cabin....... I was resourceful and figured out how to pull the cork...... :-) And a very nice wine, smooth flavor not too dry like typical Reislings.
