With the help of a local workman, I have finished bricking up the garage wall, and yesterday I installed my first window ever. Putting a window in a masonry wall is at least an order of magnitude more difficult than putting a window in a wood frame wall, because according to local building codes, you're not allowed to shim much with wood, only one-and-a-quarter inches. Therefore your masonry hole has to be quite accurate with respect to the window.
It's very tedious. But we got it done.
Today I will learn how to mix and apply stucco! I'm learning so many skills lately.
About Me
- Marvin the Martian
- I am an alien here on this little planet. I've been sent to learn about life here, to observe people and things around me, and to become a better entity by applying the lessons that I learn here. I've chosen the name "Marvin the Martian" because he is familiar to many, and the Martian mindset isn't expected to be similar to a human's. Thank you for stopping by to read this little blog. I hope you'll come back.

I enjoy doing home repairs as well. It's very rewarding when you do it yourself, and a sense of pride for a job well done.
