Feline Friday: I Can See Clearly Now?

 Since May, we've been having some updates done to our laundry room, upstairs guest bath, and kitchen. Lily has been a real trooper throughout the process, having to spend numerous days in her "apartment" (AKA the guest bedroom) while the contractors do their thing.

This past week, our new windows were finally installed. Ideally one would install windows FIRST before any painting was done, but due to the delay in getting the windows and the availability of the painters, we had them installed LAST. As a result, the paint will have to be touched up and the tile patched back together. It will be a few more weeks before all that can be finished.

But now we have nice new windows, replacing the old ones which had rotted out over time. The old muntins were broken in places and were difficult to take in and out. The new windows have muntins which are actually between the panes of glass. This will make cleaning them so much easier...no excuses now!

The trim around the new sink window did not fit the opening exactly as expected, so some of the backsplash tile had to be removed (*sigh*). The tile guy will fix all of this in a few weeks.

 The holes in the window trim will be patched and caulked, and the paint around the windows will be touched up. Once all of that is done, then the kitchen will officially be FINISHED!

 

The new windows had a plastic film over them and when it was removed, the glass was sparkling clean! The windows are probably the cleanest that they'll ever be. I quickly re-installed Lily's window bird feeder knowing she'd LOVE having such a clear view of her feathered friends!

 

Instead, she can barely keep her eyes open! Her feathered buddies come and go to the feeder and she sometimes doesn't even wake up to see them!

 

 

 

So much for her appreciation of the new windows! haha
