route Arlington, MA to babysit Devin for a week while Alex is in Hawaii on
“business” and Katy settles into her new position as Director of Administrative
Services for the Cardiac Surgery Division at Mass General Hospital. Realized that the revised window sizes for
the two Guest Bedrooms (that Ian and Perry framed in on Friday) were
incorrect. Those windows have to meet
the Residential Building Code requirements for emergency egress, which means
using wide casements vice regular casements… a difference of 8½″ in overall
window width. So spent several hours undoing
Ian and Perry’s work (when they put framing together, they apparently mean for
it to stay together) and rebuilding the window rough openings to the
correct size. Then I split up a bunch of
scrap lumber into fire-starting kindling… until it started raining at 2:30. Shed garage door opener decided to stop
working for some reason that I can’t figure out… even after stooping to reading
the instruction manual.
