WINDOW INSTALLATION
5-22-10
 
 
The last window casing all shimmed and bolted in.
Jillena kept things tidied up out back by keeping a small fire going, burning dead branches from the hedgerow and scrap wood from inside the house.
     
 
A view from the front yard.
Dave passes the window frame up to Jeff on the scaffolding.
     
 
Setting it down...
...and moving around to the inside of the frame.
     
 
Getting ready to lift it and pass it through the opening.
Tilting and passing through the opening. The safety strap is already in place.
     
 
Maneuvering the frame through the opening is a little tricky.
Hanging onto the frame outside the opening, while fitting it against the casing.
     
 
Aligning one side, then the other...
...then pulling the frame back against the casing for a tight fit.
     
 
Success!
The last frame is in and the front wall is now complete except for the main entry door which will go directly below this window.
     
 
Here's a look inside the house through a 1st floor window.
Looking up from inside the house at the frame set in the casing with the safety strap tightened.
     
 
Jillena climbed up on the scaffolding to put the sashes in and bring an end to this long project.
The top two are in.
     
 
Last sash installation. First she lines up the sash pins...
...then tilts the sash up...
     
 
...snaps the sash into the jambliner...
...and slides it closed.
     
 
OK, maybe we milked this a little, but it sure felt good to be done with another major project.
Our house, with all of its windows and no doors.
