Good Morning ... Let The Stress Begin

Today, we are having some new windows installed.  First, new bedroom windows for Margaret's room.  The old ones are being cut out right now and will be replaced with no-maintenance ones,  One will be used for emergency egress if the need ever arises.  We likely will have to replace the slatted blinds as well because the old ones may not be the proper size for the new windows.

Later today, the deck doors will be replaced.  Hopefully, they will be installed quickly because it is -8 degrees C today.  Tomorrow, the front entry doors will be installed, along with a storm door.  The installer and his helper hope the work will be finished in the early afternoon.  That work will include removal of cardboard floor protectors and tarps and sheets protecting our bedroom, dining room, and entry way furniture.

Mollie, our cockapoo, is not too happy about all the activity.  Gus, our golden retriever, is very happy with everything.  His tail has been wagging non-stop since the crew came this morning.

One thing is certain: the stress will continue for some time.  Maybe, by early spring-summer, it will ease up, assuming we don't have to worry about flooding.
