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

Accent Paint

Here the paint is about 1/2 done, so with one coat it's a little splotchy on the wall, but gives a good feel for the color.

Back Wall Done

 Finally 100% done with the back wall of the house.  Windows installed, trim done, and paint. The windows will probably get pretty messy until I have time to install the edging and river rock along the edge, but that will come later.

Harry Potter Hole

Harry Potter Hole, as my friends started calling it, has had its internal trim installed, and I've put paint on the shelving below it.  This will look good once the flooring is installed.
