3 story house…8 hours of work removing storm windows one at a time up and down a ladder and replacing them with screens. Each storm window 36" tall by 24" wide glass in a wooden frame. Screens the same size with mesh of metal in the wood frame. I’m 14 years old and this labor resulted in my sweat equity earning me the 3 speed Pashley roadster with Sturmy-Archer gearing and lever hand brakes sitting unused in the widowed woman’s garage. Now, I wish I still had that bike. It got me through high school and around my university campus faithful and true until an encounter with a pothole tacoed the front wheel and fork beyond repair in my junior year.
