Argumentative Window

[tesla]

Went to replace sash cords yesterday only to discover that the piece of the window frame that ought to hold the pulley for the lower sash is rotted out. C'est la vie. I think I saw the pulley lying in the back of a cabinet; at the time I didn't register what it was. I'll have to try to dig it up again.

Also, at some point in the semi-distant past, someone took a reciprocating saw or a pruning saw or something of the sort and hacked roughly away at the windowsill. I suppose that was when the bathroom was tiny; they must've been trying to cram a shelf or something in next to the commode. Even so, what could possibly possess a person to take a saw to his home's decorative woodwork?

Anyway, I'm not up to experimenting with this kind of carpentry, not just yet.

Fortunately, Ed has graciously consented to come by and take a look.

Apparently you were right; I had some enforced R&R with the kittens tonight, and I predict more for the next 4 days, judging by weather reports. (You know how Shadow goes crazy when I leave the house? Same deal when I leave the air conditioned room now.)

Methinks we had the folk festival on the wrong weekend.

Ah well, at least you have a nice stack of books to read while you're trapped in a cool room with cool kittens.
