Wow!

Wow #1 - the windows and the door came today.  The salesman came through and brought with him a strong young man (a.k.a. Mark in the blue shirt) to help with the unloading.  And Debby came over to help muscle the big window into place.  Even with the windows on the sides taken out it weighed a LOT.  I took photos.  Thanks to measuring all the rough openings 1, 2, 3, 4 times and more everything fit exactly like it should.

Wow #2 - Please note in the bottom left photo, Brian finished the roof and is taking his final bow for this part of the project.  He's offered to come back if we need him - I already have sheetrock in mind.  It's not every homeowner who is lucky enough to have a working architect in resident for a project.

Wow #3 - Bottom center, the windows are all in.  John finished caulking & nailing the window flanges of the big window and is applying the final layer of weatherstripping tape around the edges.  It doesn't dare leak.  The others will get done another day.

Wow #4 - the last photo...  Some things just magically appear when one is away having a relaxing, farewell to Brian, spur of the moment, elegant, delicious picnic lunch on a beautiful spring day.  Case in point is the blue dumpster.  Now to move the trash seen to the left of it, into it.  Where is Mark of the blue shirt when you need him?
