Main Windows Part 1

Replacing all of the large windows with larger double-pane windows. The involves sawing out the center support, and then adding additional framing at the bottom (as there is none currently) and building a frame. I'm doing them in sets of 3 or 4 so that they are manageable. Unfortunately the glass isn't cheap. Code requires tempered glass, and I'm looking at about $775 per window.

Start, demolition

The base only had the metal flashing wrapped over the foundation, so as a precaution I went ahead and sealed it with the same tar-based sealer I'm using on the base of the foundation

Now framing

And finally, once measurements are made, and glass ordered (2 week delivery) some temporary filler is put in place
