do ya see da light?

March 19th, 2006 by alicia

according to a friend of mine, jef and i need to be chaperoned. ok, so when we’re understimulated, we saw holes in the living room wall. big whoop.

Before:

After:



some details:

jef did a lot of trial and error to find the edges of the window through the wall. in the video, you can see that he kept sticking a flashlight in the holes and leaving; he was running outside to see where each hole was in relation to the window.

he didn’t have the right tools when he started (at 10:00 last saturday night), so he ended up making a lot of the holes with a screwdriver. the next day he got the right jigsaw blade, and that was a big help.

so what was covering the window? felt paper, insulation, some sort of mesh/chicken wire, cement, and plaster. geez.

(the video requires flash 8.)

    Nice job. I know it sounds trite to say, but I can’t believe someone covered that up!

    Holy samoleans.

    First of all, I couldn’t quit giggling over the music. Second of all, Jocelyn’s right … who the devil covers up stained glass?! Oh, wait, the same people that carpeted my hardwood floors!

    Nice work, kids! Gives an already cool pad an even cooler vibe!
