8:30 AM - start removing the first of three windows to be replaced in the bedroom we are currently remodeling.
8:45 AM - accidentally knock out about 6 bricks from the wall outside said window.
9:15 AM - finish removing said window, and start modifying the rough opening to fit the new window.
10:00 AM - hear a LOUD racket from the back yard. discover that the air compressor has finally gave up the ghost (hell, it was new in 1975)
10:30 AM - finish re-rough-framing for the new window.
11:00 AM - finish installing the new window in the rough opening. take a break.
12:00 noon - head to Lowe's. Buy mortar, trowels, bucket, caulk, and a brand new 60 gallon air compressor (to be delivered monday). Apologzie to wife for spending so much money. take another break.
2:00 PM - mix mortar and replace bricks from step 2. quit for the day.
TOTAL accomplished : only one of three windows replaced and spent way too much money.
maybe next weekend will be better.
