Window installation is going swimmingly so far

On Tuesday, they did the three biggest windows (both living rooms, and the dining room) and the bigger of the two kitchen windows.

Yesterday, they tackled Dave’s studio – one good-sized window and the sliding glass door. They also got the downstairs bathroom and one of the laundry room windows done. And it’s all gone without any hiccups except one… the fearsome foursome…

Well, really, it’s mostly one…

As we did when the basement guys were here, we locked the cats out in the catio. The only difference this time around was the temps. The last two days have been disgustingly hot and humid. (Above 30C/86F). For Rupert, Relic and Lemmy, it wasn’t as much of an issue. But for the poor black Fluffbutt… well at about 2 pm on Tuesday, I went out to check on them, and the poor guy was laying in the shade just panting up a storm. He’s just got too much floof, and then black on top of it…

Since they weren’t going to be getting to the upstairs windows that day, I brought him in and closed him up in our bedroom with the a/c. He was much happier.

Since Wednesday was slated to be just as hot, and they were still working on the downstairs, I decided to just keep them all in the bedroom for the day.

And yes, you can probably tell by the project bag, I decided to hang out with them and get some stitching done. (Does that make this Tiny Needle Thursday?). Or at least I tried to get some stitching done…

Rupert wasn’t the only one put out about not being able to outside and play. Lemmy had a serious case of cabin fever and it started about five minutes after I closed the bedroom door. He harrassed all the other cats, got into all my stitching supplies, pushed everything off my dresser, and eventually I got him distracted with his favourite toy – a pop bottle lid. (Don’t ask… he’s weird). After a very long game of fetch (it’s not that far across the room so it took many, many throws to wear him out), he finally crashed and let me stitch in peace

As a result, it was a rather productive afternoon.

The butterfly is really starting to come together. I think I have six or seven colours left. There is a light at the end of the tunnel with this one!

Window installation continues today. I expect they will finish the downstairs (one kitchen window and one laundry room window left), and then head upstairs.

The weather is supposed to be cooler, so the cats will be back outside. I’m not sure what I’ll get up to… but I’ll let you know soon enough.
