The north original window needed trim boards between the windows and smaller trim boards around them. Steven ripped the boards for me. I painted and installed.
North window Finished
Month: July 2020
Kitchen door trim
Steven adjusted the door so I could add the trim.
West kitchen window completed
Added the top pieces of the kitchen window. I also adjusted the right vertical window.
Vertical Kitchen Window Completed
Steven ripped boards for the kitchen window. I painted and installed.
Restoring tops for Baseboards
The baseboard tops needed restoring. I scraped paint from the baseboards from the bedroom, steel wooled with mineral spirits. I needed also to use a drill with an attached tool to remove years of dirt engrained in the grooves.
Side Trim Boards
Put trim boards on 3 sides of the upper window. The lower board needs to wait until after the upper cabinets are installed. The lower window has the two side trim boa.
Doorway between Dining and Living Rooms
I added drywall and muddled the jam of the doorway. Steven later added more mud to even it out.
Too much heat
We installed the south kitchen windows to have passive solar heat. We have discovered though that the summer sun is heating up the kitchen too much so I found some red resin paper to keep it out.
West Window onto Porch – trim and granite
My daughter and son-in-law came over and helped us lift the granite on top of the desk cabinet. I was then able to trim the face of the window. We laid the granite backsplash on its side under the window. We will have a great pass through for food.
Adding trim to South Kitchen
I woke one morning with the idea to use the medallions that Steven had. We decided to use the larger one for the upper window and the smaller ones for the lower window..
