Construction, Part 7 (Also see Part 6 below)

Here are some pictures from early February shot from the interior. In case you were wondering, yes!, those are double-paned, shatter-proof, tempered glass windows! There are also codes related to the windows and since they are larger, full-length windows they have to be of a certain quality and strength. Snipers beware. I've also included at the end my favorite view: looking out from the bathroom window.

Construction, Part 6

Here our some of our recent photos. These pictures were taken between early January and early February. Several days of rain and waiting for the custom-sized windows to arrive slowed things down for awhile but I'm happy to say that things are progressing along rather quickly now. As you can see below, the windows arrived and were installed.



The rain also played havoc on finishing the roof, which further delayed getting the electrical wiring completed. Once the roof was finished, the wiring could begin. Once the wiring was completed, the windows could be installed and inspected. There is a dizzying order of how things must be finished, inspected, finished, inspected, etc. It all makes sense but is pretty boring to explain and I'm not sure I could remember all the details anyway. So, let's just say between the rain, the roof, the wiring, the inspections, and the windows, things slowed to a crawl but have sped up recently and we're closer. Maybe that's the key word: closer!



The wood doors that you see also took extra time as they are custom-built. We are very happy with how they turned out though. It's a nice finish and improves the overall look of the addition.
