In frustration, would be the one and only word that could sum up a day like today.  To bad my frustration was not toward anyone in particular but an object or better yet a window.  This is not just some ordinary window oh no, it is the window that seems to be the most difficult and stuburn thing in the entire world.

My day started out fine, I was told to close up the window like the all the rest of the windows half plywood, half OSB, and than we would but a strip of pine in the middle to act like framing since there wouldn’t really be a window going in this rough opening.  So, I started to measure the OSB and got it in place and screwed it in, when I was informed that I needed to tape the window.  Well, this isn’t a problem right, one should not be so sure because I had to tape the outside OSB to thesheathing in the interior.  Well, this ment that I needed to remove and cut in half the pieces I has already made,  take off the siding on the interior wall, remove a couple of the 2 x 4’s from the side of the window and pry open all four sides of  the window.  This was not an easy task at all, it took about 5 hours to complete and the tape was probably the worse part.  However, it got finished and the window now even has a membrane on the exterior, and the pine in the center to make the window not the best looking thing in the world but a very well insulated and protectedrough opening.
