Windows

The rough opening for the other window — over the kitchen sink — is just about done too, and I suspect that window will go in tomorrow. That’s it in the Andersen box in the photo above.

The carpentry in this area has been, in our contractor’s words, “a challenge” because of how hacked-up this wall was, and because there are two layers of cedar (clapboards then shingles) on the exterior.   This window and the one described above are casement windows, chosen because this type of window is easy to operate even over a counter.  They’ll have grilles installed into them to look like 2-over-2 windows like are in the rest of the house.

The third kitchen window — by the half bath, replacing the old back door — is in house as well. This one is tall and skinny, and will not open.  But it will let much-needed light into this area. I’m not sure when that will go in since that’s a convenient door for the contractors to use.
