Dexter - Week One

This week started with the delivery of a dumpster and lots of dust!  Although it also ended with lots of dust, we started to put a few things back together ... here Vince is starting to fix the drywall in the Living and Dining Room and fill in some of holes in these walls.  By the end of the week, the walls had a fresh skim coat and the blue and yellow paint was all gone!

As we explored the house, we discovered that the windows in the sun room were original.  The operation of them is very unique.  I believe that they were originally intended to be completely opened and the room used as a sleeping porch.  The windows are made to slide down through the window sill and into the lower wall.
Here you can see how the window sill would fold open to allow for the window to slide down into the wall.

More updates soon - we are planning a very full second week!
