Window Again Delayed, Two Small Updates

Its still there, hanging out on the side of our house.... the old sagging window, along with his vinyl-ey curtain friends-

Our contractor said it was not assembled when he went to pick it up (it unexpectedly ended up being a custom built job by Andersen Windows, and they did raise the price on us some but not too much since we had already agreed on the quote).  He said the plan is now Friday but rain is in the forecast so we will see.  The kids have been upset about the matter-

Or its possible it was about another matter.... its hard to tell.

In the meantime, Jonathan recently made progress on some 'small' jobs.  The first is not small to me, since I now have a rod and shelf in a closet of my own.  For awhile we were sharing one closet-

Now there are two!

He also insulated under the kitchen floor, keeping the floor a bit warmer... so I can cook barefoot all year round (isn't that why Barefoot Contessa's cooking is so good?)-

He choose to put the paper side up because we have a moisture problem in our basement.  If the fiber glass fill was instead against the wood and the paper was on the bottom moisture could get trapped between the fiber glass and the paper.  Which would be trapping moisture up against the base floor/hardwoods just above, and could result in mold also.  The paper being against the wood should 'help' in keeping the direct moisture away.  It has made a difference in warming up the floor... along with him filling all the little holes and openings around where the pipes and such exit the basement wall into the cold outside.  Knocking another item off the list suggested to us by a home efficiency specialist.

Maybe the cold floor is why the kids were upset?  I wish it were that easy....
