| Taking down the walls was pretty easy, but taking
the scrap to the dump turned into quite an endeavor! Rather than
navigating the 180 degree turn in my stairway, I had the brilliant
idea to pass the studs thru the basement window.
Unfortunately, I had caulked the window shut (who ever opens
a basement window anyway) a couple of years ago when bugs kept
coming in thru it. So, I needed to cut the caulk and pry the window
open. I pulled, and pulled, and CRASH! I ended up breaking both
panes of glass in the window! (It WAS easier to get the boards
out without a window in the way!)
Here's what happens when you pull too hard
on a window that won't open!
I'll leave it boarded up (so I can pass the new 2x4s thru), but
now it looks like I may end up getting 3 glass block windows installed
instead of two. Great idea, poor execution. Oh well, on to the
next step…
