Installing the windows

We installed the windows in early April. There was a nice three week stretch of warm, dry weather that let us get this done. Papa came out to take a few pictures and got some really nice ones. The first picture gives an idea of how the windows were installed. Francois (shown here talking to the owner) shimmed them into the openings before sealing the holes with foam insulation. The picture also shows a full length view of the interior part of the chimney, how nicely the light plays with the yellow hemlock ceiling, and how it looked before we had the floor slab poured.

With the snow melted, Papa also managed to get a new pespetive on how the house interacts with surrounding landscape. This view is from the south side where there is a small pond along a path that leads to the sugar house in the back woods of the property. It's one of my favorite views of the house. When the leaves come out, it disappears!
