Day 3 Windows Installation

Today was a great day. The weather held out and we made significant progress. So much so that we will begin in some new apartments this week, per the original schedule.

Several apartments are near complete. And we are moving more systematically through the mulled double hung windows (which are replacing the large sliding windows). We are consistently finding that the wood beneath these large sliders is rotten. So it has become necessary to rebuild the wood support onto which the window sits and is anchored on the side. (See the images below.) Removing, rebuilding the support and installing these windows takes about 3 hours. 

I'm also attaching an image where you can see the insulation applied to the window. We are using a combination of fiberglass and spray foam insulation.

So the current plan for tomorrow is:

4H - work to resume in that apartment. 

4I - start/finish last remaining mulled double hung in Bailey's room. 

4E - start/finish last remaining mulled double hung in living room and large window in upstairs bedroom

4G - Begin work

4F - Begin work *To be confirmed
