Tomorrow's project: get bedroom window open. The damn thing isn't just painted shut, it's carefully caulked, then painted, and it has an L-bracket screwed on for extra closing power. So somebody was very determined that every window in this house should be absolutely prevented from opening. What's funny isn't just that it was done, but that the owner's boyfriend is a contractor and if he had a f'ing clue about his work, he'd have ripped that right out the moment he saw the house. It's sad that any idiot can call himself a carpenter.
