Windows

After viewing a This Old House how-to on their website, we decided we were adequately empowered to tackle our own installation. Once again the sticky tape comes in handy to seal up all gaps. The tape runs down the side of the opening and onto the sill. So if water penetrates the structure at the window area, it won't gather on the sill and rot it. So with the green membrane and the tape, we are insuring longevity.

The windows are true divided lights with an e-panel on the outside to provide additional solar gain. They are made by Brosco and are tilt outs which makes them easier to clean. They match the windows on the ground level.

The first window went in without a hitch! In fact, the sill opening was so perfect that 3 out of 4 windows went in and were level at bottom, side and diagonally. Only one needed a shim. Thanks Steve! Putting in 4 windows took us 30 minutes.
