Remodel Day 86 and 87 - 4/29/2011 thru 4/30/2011
I keep seeing these brackets. I guess they are important. They provide extra strength to load bearing walls. I should find out more about them.
Now that the windows have arrived, it seems that the rest of the window framing continues. This is the window in Emily's room. The word egress comes into play again. Remember the window cannot be more than 44" from the floor and it must be big enough to allow a person to escape in an emergency. Because Emily's room will have a 9 foot ceiling it looks ok, but the same window has to be added to Henry's room. His room will only have an 8 foot ceiling so we're worried about how it is going to look in there. We'll have to wait a while to see since that room will be done last. We're trying to keep that room intact until the end of school (at the end of May) so that the kids will have a place to sleep. After school ends, they will move into the family room in sleeping bags. Woo hoo!
Framing of the kitchen window. Kind of uneventful.
