Now that the house has been fixed up (well don't look at the kitchen), Mike has been working outside since the weather is nice. The guy who owned our house before cut this large hole in the barn for his homing pigeons (that sound you hear is me banging my head against the wall wondering why some idiot would do that to a nice looking barn when there are 2 perfectly funtioning loft doors he could've opened). So we couldn't really patch it back up with metal and make it look nice. So Mike came up with the idea of finding old windows and installing them to give it a rustic look. I think it turned out nicely. Mike still needs to frame them in, but its definately better than what was there. Still need to fix all the flashing along the roof and rebuild the other door that "blew" away in a wind storm when that guy owned the house. But the projects are getting checked off. :)
