The Windows Are Here! The Windows Are Here!

What an experience it was picking out the windows!  Tracy, our builder, was fantastic.  We originally met with a Pella representative, but ended up ordering the same windows at Lowes.  It was amazing, but Tracy had more ideas and knew the products better than the representative did.  He truly amazes us sometimes.  He has such vast knowledge.  Somehow he keeps it all in his head.....from shingles, to measurements, to windows, to whatever it is that is needed.

Now, on to our beautiful windows.  I am so in love with the windows.  They started by installing the windows at the rear of the house.  The first ones were the largest in the living room area.  They have transoms and I love them!  They got most of the windows placed in the back the first day.

Woohoo!  Look how pretty!




Apparently, the window was too heavy to set by lifting it into the open space, so they used the Skytrack to bring it over and position it.  

Our first window.  Love it! 

It made me a nervous wreck when they were swinging those big hammers near the  beautiful windows.

I know the guys just cringe when I come around with my camera.  However, they have been so patient.  I'm not sure what they say when we leave, but they are certainly polite while we are there.  

The big moment!  Look at those transoms!

This is Braeden's room.  

On the left is the breakfast nook and on the right is the living room area.  You can see the double tray up above.  

Braeden is in Mommy and Daddy's room.  He is still trying to get us to trade him : )

Our first security system : )

Garage windows.  


The remaining windows were set on Monday.  I was so excited to see the arched windows, but we had to wait an entire weekend.  As you can see, the guys carried the windows inside and nailed them to the floor just to be safe.
