38) Window surprise

by Gail on March 6, 2010

The windows were delivered a week or so ago, and we carefully stored them under tarps until we were ready for them (finished roof so they would stay dry.)

Now that the house interior is dry, and before D’s “holidays” (otherwise known as full time labouring on the job site) were over, the builders and D installed some of the heavier windows yesterday.

The most expensive window is a French casement window for the ensuite (like a French door – opens fully). It was installed yesterday. Much to my surprise, it is obscure glass, probably because it is listed for a bathroom.  But, that’s not what I ordered. Why would you have a beautiful window if you can’t see out of it? When it was delivered, I thought it had a protective film over it for transit. But, it’s the actual glass.

Westeck Windows was closed by the time I discovered the error, so I don’t know how they will resolve this problem. Here is the window installed, and the view of snow-covered mountains I would be able to enjoy from my bath if the glass were transparent.
