Progress!

I cut the holes for the window and doors and I still have all ten fingers intact!

I had to remove a piece of trim from the outside wall. I'll sand, prime and paint over that.


I learned a lot about jigsaws while I was working on this. This was the first time I had used one. The blade needs go into the saw facing away from you. I tried it the other way and couldn't see what I was doing! That's what happens when you don't read the directions!

My nifty little cordless saw even has a headlight! How cool is that?!

Here is a photo of the kitchen now. The top of the door opening is crooked, but I think some spackle and the door trim will hide that...

I love how the new window opening brings more light into the bedroom. Can't wait to get the window installed. Thanks for helping me choose the one that opens! I love it!

Right now I'm waiting for the paint to dry on the doors and window. Then I'll install them.
They actually fit! :D

More later. I'm going to take a nap now.

Blessings,
Kathi

Hey, that's looking great! You are so brave to do all that cutting. I'm still a weenie about construction projects. I admire how you just go for it!

Cool Kathi using those powertools! I think they are pretty impressive (scary ;)) But they help a lot too!

You probably can't wait till the paint is dry! Why does that always take so long ;)
