53) Windows, the final chapter

by Gail on April 16, 2010

Westeck Windows has come through on the two items of most concern to us: They re-built the dormer window to match its mirrored twin’s angle, and re-glazed the French casement bathroom window so we can see this view now:

There were other issues with door sizes and mis-orders, but we can live with them. The windows are quite lovely, needing my attention to finish the wood sashing, but I don’t want to do this job while messy trades are everywhere.

I have been on site at least 5 days/week. My time is almost totally taken up, with consultations with sub-trades, painting soffits and shingles, and cleaning up. It’s all-consuming.

Do you want to talk about the asymmetrical window choice on that side above what appears to be the garage? I can’t recall what’s inside there, but I’m guessing that dictates the window placement/size/shape.

I love that shingled siding, especially with your roofing choice. I like the hard, clean lines of the roofing contrasted with the softer, rougher shingles. Nice earthy tones. A hit.

Naaah. Westeck changed the window sizes for the bedroom to bring the pricepoint down, and I didn’t catch the bathroom window on that side. Just have to live with it.

I noticed the window asymmetry, but hesitated to mention it. In the grand scheme of things I don’t even think you’ll notice, as you’ll be so happy with everything else!

Shingling seems to be coming along nicely… How are the trades making do on the inside?
