9 of 13 Windows Installed
July 19th, 2006
We’re busily working our way around the house — finishing sheathing, nailing on tarpaper, installing windows, and putting on the top trim and drip edge. To do the front of the house (with the high gable end) we needed scaffolding stacked 5-high. Moving that around and building it up isn’t fun, but it’s the only way to move ahead.
Yesterday and today we stopped work at 1 pm due to the high temperatures. Hopefully this heat wave will pass soon, but if it doesn’t we’ll just continue to work in the cooler part of the day. Next week a sub-contractor will hang the siding while we shingle the roof.
I’ve got 5 Andersen double-hung windows on the front of the house. They were a little more finicky to install than the awning windows, but stilll not difficult considering their large size (they’re practically floor-to-ceiling windows).
It looks more like a house every day. Click to enlarge:
