Windows Are In

Pictures tomorrow.  By the time I thought about taking a picture for you, it was too dark. I will remember in the morning.  Not sure if the French Doors (in the garage) will be installed or not.  They have to do some work below the door as the entire door has a latch that locks into the foundation so wind and rain can never blow inside the house (when the doors are locked).

I was told that these doors are on ocean front houses and when the winds are screaming, the home owners lock them down and it's completely silent.  No sound from outside as they are that tight.

Riley is exhausted.  He had three carpenters to follow around.  He had openings in the house where windows will be, to jump in and out of.  He had carpenters with snacks and coffee to supervise. And then they found a nest of baby mice (in the bay window) and put them in a bucket and let Riley see them.  Well, you can imagine what happened next.

The bay window is gone.  The mouse poop in the ceiling of the bay window is gone.  The mice are gone.  And I am quite tickled with the new window that replaced the bay.  And J didn't find hang rafter damage so he can close up the roof shingles pretty quickly.
