a new idea

Today, Bill and his team are working on tearing off the old metal roof over the existing kitchen and prepping it for shingles. Bill also had the use of the construction crew's track-hoe. He used it to clear debris from the yard and move some very heavy items. (-like an old furnace, for example!)

We had our windows for the addition delivered. Also, Bill picked up our exterior doors. Soon they will be installed!

Yesterday, he brought home these windows from Merriman's. They were a special order that were never purchased, so Eric showed them to Bill with the hope that we would be interested in them.
We purchased them at a steep discount. They will be installed along the ceiling line in the family room. The chimney for the wood-stove will run up the center with the two sets of windows on either side. I think it will look great!

Ben was hoping for a single round window at the peak, but the wood-stove placement made that impossible.

Here is an outside shot to give an idea of where those windows will be: at the peak facing the river.

We like to go with the flow, as they say.
