I've been busy this week on several projects. It was time for new window treatments in the upstairs bonus room and in our dining room. The dining room was the easiest, although it did involve ironing the new ruffled curtains. But the windows were washed and the new curtains hung, and they look nice.
Upstairs was more work. First off, everything had to be taken up there - cleaning supplies, spackle, paint, tools, etc. I got the old drapes down and thrown out. Then I scraped and sanded some areas around the window, then spackled, then when that was dry I sanded again, and then painted. And of course, washed the big window. The rod was old, and the plastic parts were brittle and several broke in the taking down process. So I had to do something about that. I took the rod apart and reworked it. And ironed the new window treatments. Some of you know that ironing is not high on my list of things I like to do. I got it all hung and it looks pretty good. Then some extra cleaning was done up there. I will take pictures soon and post.
We have had several meetings with our Handyman friend, Steve. We are going to get new siding on the house plus some added insulation. We made our decision and yesterday I spent quite a while getting all the forms and material done for the ARB. They meet next week. We are really hoping they like the color we have chosen. As soon as we get an approval from the ARB, Steve will order all the supplies and materials and the siding man will get us on his schedule.
I hope everyone is well and taking care of themselves. Stay safe. God Bless America!
