Future bedroom! Deconstruction - Part 5 - We used to have a window...

So much to do, so little time... On we go!
 
Everyone likes windows. Everyone except us. We hate them. We would rather stare at some closet doors. Get that window out of here!
 
We started with this

We taped up the window really well beacause we weren't sure if we were going to break it trying to get it out.
 
iLan started sawing around the window. We got a reciprocating saw for the job and it came in handy!

In a matter of moments, it was GONE! Here is a nice view of our neighbors garage roof for you.

So then it was time to fill the hole with some wall.

I hope you all realize how safe we are while we work. Yes, that ladder is being supported by a 2x4 held on with a clamp. A clamp with 100 pounds of pressure. Top of the line here, folks. Nothing but the best for us. If you are concerned, try not to worry. We have ordered a new ladder and it should be arriving any day now.
 
Filled and not looking too bad, if I do say so myself.

Well, I guess it looks better from the inside. We have too much to do inside the house to worry about the exterior yet.Window removal
 
One project down...
 
P.S. Have you ever looked into buying closet doors? All of closet doors we saw in Home Depot were pretty ordinary except for one. But they are SUPER expensive. More than closet doors have a right to cost! So iLan is going to make us some awesome closet doors himself. That will show them.

So now you have no window but plywood, so what do you do for insulation for both the heat and cold.  I did like the view of your neighbors garage roof, perhaps you could have offered to paint a mural on it and add to your "view from your room!" Dad

The entire wall will eventually be insulated. You'll just have to be patient... The "Insulation" blog entry isn't coming for a little while now.
 
Stay tuned!
