I've been trying to get the wife up there. So far, only as far as northern Idaho. Going to bring her up north this October, we will see. Thank you,
Chet

 

My knees and feet hurt just thinking about it !!

 

If you get a shorter ladder, Roy, you don't have to climb so high

On your next HD list if you replace the masonite siding with cedar, make sure that it's primed on both sides. Otherwise the topcoat may not stick.

 

I'll try that.......

 

Some more pictures of window replacement progress.........

Cat pushed my glasses off of the kitchen counter.... The puppies discover a treasure..... Then it is tug of war time......





This is Eric.... Retired Ranch Hand that stays with us from time to time and help a bunch around the house........

 

Wow...you are working hard Roy! House is going to really thank you!

 

I see the pics on Microsoft Edge, so Firefox is the problem, good progress Roy, shame about the glasses
are you gonna match the siding up to the new windows??

 

Firefox is my preferred browser - and I'm seeing his pics just fine!

 

Once repairs are made to the siding. Caulking done.... The siding will be painted (2 coats) with a gray color satin Behr paint.
The cedar trim will get a clear sealer........

 

Good progress , Roy. Looking through one window, I'm trying to figure out which brand you use for Cowboy Coffee. Or do you mix them?

 

Looks good Roy, It's really going to make a difference.

 

A local Coffee bean roaster makes a Dark roasted blend they call "Cowboy Coffee"...... Good stuff
I also use a Keurig coffee system and a pod from Barista Prima Coffee House....... Dark Italian Roast

 

Thanks......
I am looking forward to the finished Project......

 

Another window removed and replaced........

Kimber, the helper, is taking a chew break....

 

Looks good, Roy. All this spending helps the economy! Just not your wallet.

As a side note, I have the same Bosch radio. Bought it some years ago ironically because it had a CD player and the dewalt radio didn't. Have one 18V battery and zero Bosch tools, lol. Still works, although the battery I'm sure is shot...but I use it for the tunes and the four GFCI outlets it provides.
