Windows and Doors






The first picture shows the shear wall next to the stairway after john put everything back together. Today John got the rest of the windows set in place. Some of them were heavy and some were very high. He had to rout out the basement window openings too.
This afternoon, the first load of doors came. We unloaded them and set the basement doors in place before the Frere's truck returned. Next we unloaded the Front door with its sidelights. Finally we unloaded the 8' French doors for the family room.
We were able to set the entry door and then found a problem with the French doors for the Living Room. The rough opening was framed just a bit smaller than the minimum cutout size and the doors were built about 2" wider than expected, so we end up about 3/4" short of a fit. The 8' doors for the family room are also tight but have about 1/4" to spare, that could cause trouble if we need to make adjustments. We will deal with this on Monday, there are a few things we can do to make everything work.

It's good that you finally let Lynna run the camera. We can actually see you doing some physical labor!

Nice work pants!
