Today it was exciting to see the giant Innotech truck pull into the driveway. It meant the first batch of windows and doors was here at last. The driver and helper wasted no time in getting the windows out of the truck and placed carefully where they belonged. The windows were no lightweights - especially the front ones which were all triple glazed.

Harold's Contracting crew got busy prepping the openings with blue skin waterproofing, tar paper and caulking. Then they hefted the heavy windows into the openings and leveled everything perfectly before fastening them permanently into place. It was great to see a reflection in the window instead of a blank opening when we looked at the house this evening.

Tomorrow the last of the first batch of windows and doors will be installed. The balance of the windows arrive Thursday. It won't be long until the interior work begins in earnest.
