So we had ordered windows and the original plan was to have my Nick, Nate & Joe come back to install them but they are pretty busy (Good for them!) and Tom was just itching to install them. Since we are just a*little* bit smarter from the whole Tyvek experience, we decided to rent a boom lift again and we can install the windows and get the trim boards up at the same time. Piece o' cake, right?
We set up a painting station in the garage to spray the trim boards. Neighbor, Austin, came over to help run the saw.
And this is what the finished windows and trim look like on the craftroom windows! We decided on the 6" trim over the 4" that had originally been spec'd. I'm really happy with how they turned out.
It's hard to tell with just the tyvek on but when we get the contrast of the siding, that trim is going to pop!
Here is the front of the house with the trim done on all the upper windows while we had the lift.
Now let me tell you about 84 square feet of windows... The three upper windows in the living room are 4' wide by 7' tall. That's 28 square feet per window. Double paned and heavy as hell! I'm sure that I can speak for Tom when I say that we are most proud of those. I was sure that first one was going to crash on the ground 20 feet below us. But we figured it out and the other 2 went in much easier. I can't help but feel a sense of accomplishment when I look at those windows.
