All of the windows in the house are the old sash-weight windows. Well the previous owner of the house thought it would be a good idea to paint all of the windows shut. Most of the windows probably haven't been opened in 10 years! Nice huh!
So since we've moved in we have been working on getting all the windows open. It's not as easy as you think.
Well this weekend I decided that this one window in the living room just had to be opened. But Micah was working so I was going to have to do it myself. So I grabbed a razor knife and went to work.(let me back up and say that Jordyn had to show me how to get the razor out. ha!)
When that seemed to not work I decided that the trim on the window had to be taken off so that the window would open. I told Jordyn to grab me the crow bar. Well my daughter decides that this may not be the best idea. She throws her hands up in the air and says "I want no part of this. Micah is not gonna be happy about this and I'm not getting in trouble for it." She then takes off to her bedroom and leaves me to fix the window alone.
Well guess what? I got the window open!
So I yelled for Jordyn and showed her that it worked and there was no shattered glass! I was so excited that I took a picture and texted it to Micah. I wrote.
"Living room window open! I'm so smart!"
Well now the window was open and the heat index was 110 outside so I needed to shut the window. This did not go so well. As I pulled the window down I hear a loud thump. The stupid rope holding the weight was dry rotted and broke in two!
So my next picture and text to Micah went like this.
"Living room window broken. I'm not that smart. :) Love you baby!"
Notice the "Love you baby!" hee hee hee.
This house has been nothing but an adventure since we bought it!
