The excitement is slowing down a bit. Today Louie told me the plan for the upcoming weeks. The chimney guy is coming today to extend the chimney through the roof. And the heating guy is coming to discuss where to place the ducts for the new AC (believe it or not, we are the only house in town that does not have central air - but pretty soon we will no longer be able to make that claim!).
I also talked with Louie about changing out the single window in the left-back bedroom to a double-width window. All the window changes that we're making are more or less what the architect had suggested in the first place. OK he was right. I guess I had to see just how big the structure was to appreciate how many windows we would really need.
Then on Monday, the plan is to frame the rest of the interior walls. And the windows and siding go on next week.

The bigger the windows the better, always. I can't wait to see the finished project.

Mom's right - big windows make it a bright house - they can never be too big. Well, maybe, if you had a whole window wall looking onto a neighbor's house.

I agree completely if you're starting from scratch on a new house, but here we were trying to match the existing windows. And the existing windows in the front and sides are pretty small (being all bedroom windows).
Plus it's $850 for each of the two windows we decided to add - yikes our money's disappearing fast!
