We Have Windows!

Well, some windows. By the end of the day the first 3 windows were installed in the north wall. From these windows, looking northwesterly gives you a view of Maui if there are no clouds. I had the screens for all the windows in this room changed to pet resistant screening.

Screens have not been installed yet.

I had mentioned yesterday that the roof had been completed. Here are photos of the finished roof that I took this morning.

Here are the rest of the photos from the end of the day today. Most of the sheathing has been installed; the east wall is the last remaining wall needing sheathing.

Since Chris & Spencer moved the scaffolding to help install the roof & the windows, I also took another photo for reference Point F. The stairs will run along the wall to the left, coming towards the photo point.

I was a bit under the weather again this morning, though I was not as tired as yesterday. Hoping it does not continue much longer. Unfortunately evening temperatures are again forecast to drop in to the mid-60's & is forecast to be this way for a few more days. I know this is not as low as many parts of the continent but it is cold for here & I sleep with my windows wide open. 

Just after lunch I got a call from HPM, the cabinets I ordered will be delivered tomorrow! When I paid for the cabinets last week Tuesday, Jesika said it would be about 4 weeks before the cabinets would be finished. That was 8 days ago; they must not have been too busy in the cabinetry shop!

Last night, we ended up with a lot more Kohala Reunion t-shirt order pages than the registration pages. Kathy checked today & found that she was supposed to have received another 300 or so registration pages; they were sent to her this afternoon. She sent out a request for help to get these ready for mailing on Friday. I met her at the Hāwī Jodo Mission hall where the local kids Okinawan taiko group was practicing; she was there to supervise the practice. We managed to finish them all by about 5 pm.

Kīlauea started erupting again this afternoon; this is eruption episode 5. The fountains today have been up to about 30' so not as high as seen in some other eruptive episodes.

Later in the evening, I got this in an email.
