Utility Room 1

Following the Concrete Party, steady progress has been made on the Utility Room. The overhanging structure here is supported by heavy pieces of angle iron embedded under the framing.

The over hanging structure is this sitting window. The windows are all double pane second hand windows from Habitat.







The OSB is now painted to help preserve it. Next year we will put siding over it.










The nice wide space under the right half of this window proved to be a source of injury. It's a nice wide space that looks like it is a good place to pull yourself into the room from outside.




The problem is, just above the line of sight is the bottom of the window sill. I attempted to pull myself through with great conviction and got a nasty knot on my head for my efforts. Not 15 minutes later, my dad whacked his head on the same spot. We decided it would be a good Idea to put up the piece of siding before it happened a third time.

Pro Tip! An "A" frame ladder over the front walk way creates a quick superstitious burglar barrier. :)
