Awake: 6:20 am Temp Downtown=47 Sunny

Melissa calls at 8:16 am to give the overnight Matthew report to Kathy. I
believe this daily report can be found on the Kirsch web site. So check it
out.

The Capital Glass guys, Brian & Jim, arrive at 8:40 am. Today they should
finish replacing the 6 windows, some double paned some triple, that have
been leaking moisture over the years. Number 7 window being replaced is in
perfectly good shape. A new safety code specifies that any window within
30 inches of an outside door must be with tempered glass & have a printed
key to that effect. Well, that window key could not be found so we are
having that replaced as a precaution.

Meanwhile Kathy is cleaning out clothes, shoes & stuff from the master
bedroom closet in preparation for painting that closet. And I am on the
floor in the brown bathroom sanding more molding.

Finally it's break time for us so we meet in the living room and we can
hear Jim talking on his cell phone to what appears to be his Capital Glass
Co., Saying things like: " It's 65" high and we measured 61". So we won't
be finishing up today. Someone made a typo error on the order sheet.

Some good came out of this blunder tho: Brian now has the time, the tools
and the expertise of pry up a strip of trim, tighten the window crank
mechanism screws and reinstall that piece of trim without leaving any
visable marks. We had 3 window crank mechanisms that needed this service &
I have few tools left to work with. He did it right.

The Capital Glass guys leave at 1:50 pm. They plan on returning next
Tues...to finish....we hope.

Meanwhile Kathy not only finished getting all things out of the closet but
also finished painting the closet. I was impressed...so much so that I
went into the living room and wore myself out sanding the floor molding
under the fireplace hearth. Then I get the 7' ladder and clean the high
window & frame over the south stairway. I'll show her I can still keep up
with a young wife!

Dinner: Leftover Salmon & Spaghetti with a meatball, bean salad & fresh
salad.

After dinner when the closet paint is dry, I help a little getting all the
clothes back onto the closet rod, and we are finished with housework for
the night.
Kathy watches 20/20 while cutting Christmas cards fronts off and I am in
the living room reading my motorhome FMCA magazine. Lights out: 11:24 pm.
