Right. So it’s getting cold here in Chicago, and we’re pretty much on the path to no return in terms of temperature. I’ve got to really get going on these outside jobs. Right now I feel like this about the interior work.

But I need to paint the upper part of the exposed foundation that’s been done in a stylish stone fashion. The front was already painted, and so I’ve decided to stay with the white color. It might be hard to tell in this picture, but in real life the new paint makes a major difference.

As you can see I’ve still got the other 3 sides of the house to do.

Next I need to finish these window replacements. These old windows look terrible and the house came with bars inside, but the block glass windows are great on cold protection and very secure. You can see I’ve also done a little test spot of paint to see how much paint these stones absorb.

The only shocker is the amount of debris that’s already in the screen since I installed the window. Gonna need a major cleaning!
